block: Fix invalidate_cache error path for parent activation

bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() clears the BDRV_O_INACTIVE flag before
actually activating a node so that the correct permissions etc. are
taken. In case of errors, the flag must be restored so that the next
call to bdrv_co_invalidate_cache() retries activation.

Restoring the flag was missing in the error path for a failed
parent->role->activate() call. The consequence is that this attempt to
activate all images correctly fails because we still set errp, however
on the next attempt BDRV_O_INACTIVE is already clear, so we return
success without actually retrying the failed action.

An example where this is observable in practice is migration to a QEMU
instance that has a raw format block node attached to a guest device
with share-rw=off (the default) while another process holds
BLK_PERM_WRITE for the same image. In this case, all activation steps
before parent->role->activate() succeed because raw can tolerate other
writers to the image. Only the parent callback (in particular
blk_root_activate()) tries to implement the share-rw=on property and
requests exclusive write permissions. This fails when the migration
completes and correctly displays an error. However, a manual 'cont' will
incorrectly resume the VM without calling blk_root_activate() again.

This case is described in more detail in the following bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531888

Fix this by correctly restoring the BDRV_O_INACTIVE flag in the error
path.
