blockdev: Split monitor reference from BB creation
Before this patch, blk_new() automatically assigned a name to the new BlockBackend and considered it referenced by the monitor. This patch removes the implicit monitor_add_blk() call from blk_new() (and consequently the monitor_remove_blk() call from blk_delete(), too) and thus blk_new() (and related functions) no longer take a BB name argument. In fact, there is only a single point where blk_new()/blk_new_open() is called and the new BB is monitor-owned, and that is in blockdev_init(). Besides thus relieving us from having to invent names for all of the BBs we use in qemu-img, this fixes a bug where qemu cannot create a new image if there already is a monitor-owned BB named "image". If a BB and its BDS tree are created in a single operation, as of this patch the BDS tree will be created before the BB is given a name (whereas it was the other way around before). This results in minor change to the output of iotest 087, whose reference output is amended accordingly. Signed-off-by: NMax Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NKevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
