If you're transferring ownership of the result to the caller, please return it
as a scoped_ptr<SkBitmap>.

However, since SkBitmap uses ref-counting behind the scenes for its
heap-allocated backing, please consider return the SkBitmap by value, and an
empty one on failure (which is easy to test for by the caller).

Done.

Nit: Add a blank line before this.
