[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block migration: Activate image on destination before writing to it

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

When using 'migrate -b', we must make sure to take ownership of the
image before writing to it. Otherwise metadata would be thrown away on
migration completion; this was caught by the assertions introduced in
commit 09e0c771.
