f9092b108f7b35e463e58bd3dd348ff002ba9e63 savevm: Survive hot-unplug of snapshot device
savevm.c keeps a pointer to the snapshot block device. If you manage
to get that device deleted, the pointer dangles, and the next snapshot
operation will crash & burn. Unplugging a guest device that uses it
does the trick:
$ MALLOC_PERTURB_=234 qemu-system-x86_64 [...]

(qemu) info snapshots
No available block device supports snapshots
(qemu) drive_add auto if=none,file=tmp.qcow2

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Move management of that pointer to block.c, and zap it when the device
it points becomes unusable.
