[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] fix yet another regression due to my backingChain rewrite

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903248 details a regression that I caused, which is tickled by the odd way in which VDSM uses (abuses?) symlinks to qcow2 files with relative backing file names. The first two patches are quite trivial; the third a bit longer but still straightforward; and the meat of the series is the fourth patch. Meanwhile, I know of at least one other regression that I still need to fix in the same area of code: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896685 is caused when cgroups are not present (such as in qemu:///session); I hope to patch that one tomorrow.
