We should probably already check this in qcow2_change_backing_file(), so
that s->image_backing_file can never contain anything longer than that.
If you like, you can keep an assertion here.

The advantage is that in qcow2_change_backing_file() we can fail the
operation before all of the variables are updated and therefore become
inconsistent with the on-disk state of the image.
