[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/3] qemu-img: rebase: Reuse in-chain BlockDriverState

[Sam Eiderman <shmuel.eiderman@oracle.com>]

If a chain was detected, don't open a new BlockBackend from the target
backing file which will create a new BlockDriverState. Instead, create
an empty BlockBackend and attach the already open BlockDriverState.

Permissions for blk_new() were copied from blk_new_open() when
flags = 0.
