H A Dblock.cdiff 50196d7a7c73133a6a6bf484571fb8f5daf7f104 Thu Sep 06 04:37:03 CDT 2018 Alberto Garcia <berto@igalia.com> block: Remove child references from bs->{options,explicit_options}

Block drivers allow opening their children using a reference to an
existing BlockDriverState. These references remain stored in the
'options' and 'explicit_options' QDicts, but we don't need to keep
them once everything is open.

What is more important, these values can become wrong if the children
change:

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd0.qcow2 10M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd1.qcow2 10M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd2.qcow2 10M
$ $QEMU -drive if=none,file=hd0.qcow2,node-name=hd0 \
-drive if=none,file=hd1.qcow2,node-name=hd1,backing=hd0 \
-drive file=hd2.qcow2,node-name=hd2,backing=hd1

After this hd2 has hd1 as its backing file. Now let's remove it using
block_stream:

(qemu) block_stream hd2 0 hd0.qcow2

Now hd0 is the backing file of hd2, but hd2's options QDicts still
contain backing=hd1.
