Re: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] datastore: avoid calculating protected attribute twice

[Christian Ebner <c.ebner@proxmox.com>]

nit: s/calculating/checking/ as this is not really a calculation in that 
sense. But this does not warrant a new version.

This looks good to me, although there is now a possibly increased delay 
between the check and closure invocation, as the closure call can be 
significantly later, e.g. when there are a lot of snapshots in the group 
to list. This is however not problematic, as callers do not rely on this 
and the avoided lookup for the file path existence is beneficial.

Did test this by setting a snapshot to protected and verifying the 
listing is still as expected via:

```
proxmox-backup-client snapshot list <group> --output-format json-pretty
```

So please consider:
