What about live snapshots or block jobs that manipulate bs->backing?
They don't use bdrv_open_backing_file(), but bdrv_append() or
bdrv_replace_in_backing_chain() in order to assign a backing file, which
may or may not be the same as in the image header.
Also, do we want to consider a backing file overridden when the user
specified it explicitly, but it matches the image header?
