This fixes a regression introduced with commit 3f09bfbc7. Multiple
bugs arise in conjunction with live snapshots and mirroring operations
(which include active layer commit).
After a live snapshot occurs, the active layer and the base layer both
have a non-NULL tqe_prev field in the device_list, although the base
node's tqe_prev field points to a NULL entry. This non-NULL tqe_prev
field occurs after the bdrv_append() in the external snapshot calls
change_parent_backing_link().
In change_parent_backing_link(), when the previous active layer is
removed from device_list, the device_list.tqe_prev pointer is not
set to NULL.
The operating scheme in the block layer is to indicate that a BDS belongs
in the bdrv_states device_list iff the device_list.tqe_prev pointer
is non-NULL.
This patch does two things:
1.) Introduces a new block layer helper bdrv_device_remove() to remove a
BDS from the device_list, and
2.) uses that new API, which also fixes the regression once used in
change_parent_backing_link().
