Any storage engine that initiates rollback needs to call it. This
basically means any transactional engine, as there are situtions where
ROLLBACK is inevitable (e.g. ENOSPC if you're lucky enough to be able to
handle it).

It's not a performance optimization, it's about correctness. This is
telling the MySQL server that anybody else involved in the transaction
should now execute ROLLBACK as you've already done it. e.g. to ensure
that binlog doesn't contain operations that have been rolled back by
your engine.
