The current vmspawn_qmp_add_block_device() emits a single blockdev-add
that combines the format-level node ("vmspawn-N-storage") with an
inline file child. QEMU's qmp_blockdev_add() only marks the top-level
returned BDS as monitor-owned (qemu/blockdev.c:3440); inline children
are NOT, so qmp_blockdev_del() rejects them with "Node X is not owned
by the monitor" (qemu/blockdev.c:3513-3517).
To prepare for ReplaceStorage — which needs to swap the file child of
an existing format node via blockdev-reopen, and then blockdev-del the
old file node — make the file node monitor-owned by issuing it as its
own blockdev-add call. The 4-stage add chain becomes 5 stages:
add-fd
blockdev-add (file) → on_add_file_node_stage sets FILE_NODE_ADDED
blockdev-add (format) → on_add_format_node_stage sets BLOCKDEV_ADDED
remove-fd
device_add
DriveInfo gains qmp_file_node_name ("vmspawn-N-file-G", G a generation
counter bumped on every replace), file_generation, and a stashed
fdset_id so future ReplaceStorage can target both for cleanup.
vmspawn_qmp_block_device_teardown() now deletes both nodes in order —
format first, then file — because the format holds a strong reference
to its file child and a file-first del is rejected with "Node X is
busy: node is used as 'file' of Y".
Folds bridge->features VMSPAWN_QMP_FEATURE_IO_URING into the file
node's flags so the new path inherits io_uring just like the old
inline form did. The format-level options (read-only, discard,
discard-no-unref) are unchanged.
The ephemeral path is structurally already separate file+format with
monitor-owned children; no behavioural change there beyond the
on_add_blockdev_stage → on_add_format_node_stage rename.
Drops the now-unused qmp_build_blockdev_add_inline() helper.
