[PATCH v7 17/47] block: Re-evaluate backing file handling in reopen

[Max Reitz]

Reopening a node's backing child needs a bit of special handling because
the "backing" child has different defaults than all other children
(among other things).  Adding filter support here is a bit more
difficult than just using the child access functions.  In fact, we often
have to directly use bs->backing because these functions are about the
"backing" child (which may or may not be the COW backing file).
