[PATCH v5 5/9] block: bdrv_reopen_parse_backing(): simplify handling implicit filters

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>]

The logic around finding overlay here is not obvious. Actually it does
two simple things:

1. If new bs is already in backing chain, split from parent bs by
   several implicit filters we are done, do nothing.

2. Otherwise, don't try to replace implicit filter.

Let's rewrite this in more obvious way.
