c1087f12066a1ff34153dd10662c1a46a874087c block: Add bdrv_child_refresh_perms()
If a block node uses bdrv_child_try_set_perm() to change the permission
it takes on its child, the result may be very short-lived. If anything
makes the block layer recalculate the permissions internally, it will
invoke the node driver's .bdrv_child_perm() implementation. The
permission/shared permissions masks that returns will then override the
values previously passed to bdrv_child_try_set_perm().
If drivers want a child edge to have specific values for the
permissions/shared permissions mask, it must return them in
.bdrv_child_perm(). Consequentially, there is no need for them to pass
the same values to bdrv_child_try_set_perm() then: It is better to have
a function that invokes .bdrv_child_perm() and calls
bdrv_child_try_set_perm() with the result. This patch adds such a
function under the name of bdrv_child_refresh_perms().
