blockdev-snapshot returned an error if the overlay was already in use,
which it defined as having any BlockBackend parent. This is in fact both
too strict (some parents can tolerate the change of visible data caused
by attaching a backing file) and too loose (some non-BlockBackend
parents may not be happy with it).

One important use case that is prevented by the too strict check is live
storage migration with blockdev-mirror. Here, the target node is
usually opened without a backing file so that the active layer is
mirrored while its backing chain can be copied in the background.

The backing chain should be attached to the mirror target node when
finalising the job, just before switching the users of the source node
to the new copy (at which point the mirror job still has a reference to
the node). drive-mirror did this automatically, but with blockdev-mirror
this is the job of the QMP client, so it needs a way to do this.

blockdev-snapshot is the obvious way, so this patch makes it work in
this scenario. The new condition is that no parent uses CONSISTENT_READ
permissions. This will ensure that the operation will still be blocked
when the node is attached to the guest device, so blockdev-snapshot
remains safe.

(For the sake of completeness, x-blockdev-reopen can be used to achieve
the same, however it is a big hammer, performs the graph change
completely unchecked and is still experimental. So even with the option
of using x-blockdev-reopen, there are reasons why blockdev-snapshot
should be able to perform this operation.)
