In the case of hotplug, the hotplug monitor commands have not yet been
invoked when libvirt access the file metadata, or the drive has already
been unplugged, so there is still no concurrent access to the file by
QEMU and libvirt.
Unless someone tries to hotplug an image that relies on a backing file
already used by another image. While unlikely, it is possible.
