[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] Storage: Suppress metadata refresh for volumes being built.
Libvirt periodically calls 'stat' on all volumes in a storage pool,
to update fields such as 'target.allocation'.
The operation doesnt make sense for a volume which is curently being allocated.
Also, the 'target.allocation' sub-field is taken into account while copying a raw
image. To suppress any (potential) corruption, libvirt must not attempt to refresh a
volume currently being built.
