After a lot has been restructed in the block layer in the past, we can
now reap at least one of the fruits: Make bdrv_open() return a BDS!

I tried to squeeze patch 8 of this series into my bdrv_close_all()
series but noticed that won't work because bdrv_open_inherit() still has
one instance of bdrv_close() which is actually pretty reasonable.
Therefore, that was impossible there.

However, that instance exists only because bdrv_open_inherit() does not
always create a new BDS but sometimes takes an existing one and opens a
file "into" that BDS, basically. That is ugly and we've tried to get rid
of that for a long time now. Then I noticed that nearly all the callers
of bdrv_open()/bdrv_open_inherit() no longer need that feature, there
was only one show-stopper left: blk_new_open(). That functions creates a
BDS using blk_new_with_bs(), which in turn uses bdrv_new_root() instead
of a plain bdrv_new().

However, the sole difference between bdrv_new_root() and bdrv_new() is
gone as of my "Further BlockBackend work" series, so we can make
blk_new_open() reuse the BDS creation capabilities of bdrv_open() as
well. And that's it!

And with bdv_open_inherit() always creating the BDS, we no longer need
to call bdrv_close() there, which allows us to assert that any BDS given
to bdrv_close() will have a refcount of 0 (i.e. is about to be deleted).


As hinted before, this series depends on v2 of my previous series
"blockdev: Further BlockBackend work".
