[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 02/10] block: reverse order for reopen commits

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

It's needed to fix reopening qcow2 with bitmaps to RW. Currently it
can't work, as qcow2 needs write access to file child, to mark bitmaps
in-image with IN_USE flag. But usually children goes after parents in
reopen queue and file child is still RO on qcow2 reopen commit. Reverse
reopen order to fix it.
