[Qemu-devel] [PULL 04/27] vmdk: Set vmdk parent backing_format to vmdk

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Sam Eiderman <shmuel.eiderman@oracle.com>

Commit b69864e5a ("vmdk: Support version=3 in VMDK descriptor files")
fixed the probe function to correctly guess vmdk descriptors with
version=3.

This solves the issue where vmdk snapshot with parent vmdk descriptor
containing "version=3" would be treated as raw instead vmdk.

In the future case where a new vmdk version is introduced, we will again
experience this issue, even if the user will provide "-f vmdk" it will
only apply to the tip image and not to the underlying "misprobed" parent
image.

The code in vmdk.c already assumes that the backing file of vmdk must be
vmdk (see vmdk_is_cid_valid which returns 0 if backing file is not
vmdk).

So let's make it official by supplying the backing_format as vmdk.
