At first I intended to implement it directly in
bdrv_replace_child_noperm(), but the thing is that you need the
bs->recursive_quiesce_counter of the parent BDS - but not all parents of
a BdrvChild are even a BDS. It could also be a BB root child or a block
job child. This is why we only have a void *opaque rather than a BDS
pointer for the parent.

The other option would be an additional BdrvChildRole callback like
.get_recursive_quiesce_counter, but compared to that, I like some code
in .attach/.detach better.

I can keep that in mind for part 3 (or 4, whatever it may become).
