A rewrite of the last two paragraphs:

---
Of the two callers of bdrv_set_file_or_backing_noperm, 
bdrv_reopen_parse_file_or_backing is unique in that it does not complete 
the reopen, it only prepares a transaction.  The actual commit (or 
abort) is done higher in the call chain.

Therefore, the call to bdrv_subtree_drained_end_unlocked must be delayed 
until after the transaction's fate has been determined and its actions 
have been performed.  Do this by recording a TransactionActionDrv to end 
the drained section for new_child_bs.
---

Likewise, the subject can be "block: keep children drained across a 
reopen transaction"; explain the change and not the technicalities of 
how you did it.
