[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 18/18] block/backup: loosen restriction on readonly bitmaps

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

With the "never" sync policy, we actually can utilize readonly bitmaps
now. Loosen the check at the QMP level, and tighten it based on
provided arguments down at the job creation level instead.
