This feels dangerous. It does what you want it to do if the only graph
change below the BlockBackend is the one in mirror_exit_common. But the
user could also take a snapshot, or in the future hopefully insert a
filter node, and you would then want the BlockBackend to move.

To be honest, even BdrvChildRole.stay_at_node is a bit of a hack. But at
least it's only used for permissions and not for the actual data flow.
