We tested qemu-kvm-ev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.14.1 - where from the source RPM we
verified it does contain ef6dada8b44e1e7c4bec5c1115903af9af415b50

But the issue still exists.  The convert got stuck if one of the old
active overlay
had been 'vol-resize'd  with qemu monitor command to a larger size.  This looks
like a prerequisite but not sufficient condition to trigger this badness.
