The following command-line fails due to a permissions conflict:
$ qemu-storage-daemon \
--blockdev driver=nvme,node-name=nvme0,device=0000:08:00.0,namespace=1 \
--blockdev driver=raw,node-name=l1-1,file=nvme0,offset=0,size=1073741824
\
--blockdev
driver=raw,node-name=l1-2,file=nvme0,offset=1073741824,size=1073741824 \
--nbd-server addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/nbd.sock,max-connections=2 \
--export type=nbd,id=nbd-l1-1,node-name=l1-1,name=l1-1,writable=on \
--export type=nbd,id=nbd-l1-2,node-name=l1-2,name=l1-2,writable=on
qemu-storage-daemon: --export
type=nbd,id=nbd-l1-1,node-name=l1-1,name=l1-1,writable=on: Permission conflict
on node 'nvme0': permissions 'resize' are both required by node 'l1-1' (uses
node 'nvme0' as 'file' child) and unshared by node 'l1-2' (uses node 'nvme0' as
'file' child).
The problem is that block/raw-format.c relies on bdrv_default_perms() to
set permissions on the nvme node. The default permissions add RESIZE in
anticipation of a format driver like qcow2 that needs to grow the image
file. This fails because RESIZE is unshared, so we cannot get the RESIZE
permission.
Max Reitz pointed out that block/crypto.c already handles this case by
implementing a custom ->bdrv_child_perm() function that adjusts the
result of bdrv_default_perms().
This patch takes the same approach in block/raw-format.c so that RESIZE
is only required if it's actually necessary (e.g. the parent is qcow2).

This is not a bug fix, so I didn't mark it for QEMU 6.1. It's new
behavior that hasn't been supported before. I want to split an NVMe
drive using the raw format's offset=/size= feature.
