I realized that this patch assumes that userspace calls
SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE only after having written the full image,
but if that happens earlier I'm not sure that it's safe to call
snapshot_write_next().
An alternative solution would be to do it at the beginning of
snapshot_write_finalize() if handle->cur > nr_meta_pages + 1.
If you think that's a better idea I can send v2 of the patch.

Berto
