From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> When the 'backingStore' pointer is not populated the function calls 'virStorageSourceGetMetadata' to try to populate it but if the on-disk metadata doesn't have a backing image (e.g. if it's the 'base' image of the chain) the 'backingStore' pointer will still be NULL. The function then calls 'virStorageSourceIsSameLocation' but the internal functions for dealing with storage sources don't handle NULL gracefully. Since for the base image there's nothing to update we need to skip the code if there's no backing store.
