[PATCH v2 09/33] block-copy: always set BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING flag

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>]

It won't hurt in common case, so let's not bother with detecting image
fleecing.

Also, we want to simplify initialization interface of copy-before-write
filter as we are going to make it public.
