[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 0/3] block/stream: get rid of the base

[Andrey Shinkevich]

This series introduces a bottom intermediate node that eliminates the
dependency on the base that may change while stream job is running.
It happens when stream/commit parallel jobs are running on the same
backing chain. The base node of the stream job may be a top node of
the parallel commit job and can change before the stream job is
completed. We avoid that dependency by introducing the bottom node.

v2:
The function bdrv_find_overlay() with the same functionality has been
used in the qmp_block_stream() to find a bottom node.
The algorithm in the bdrv_do_is_allocated_above() was simplified.
The commit messages were modified.
