For blockdev-snapshot, external_snapshot_prepare() accepts an arbitrary
node reference at first and only checks later whether it already has a
backing file. Between those places, other errors can occur.

Therefore checking in external_snapshot_abort() whether state->new_bs
has a backing file is not sufficient to tell whether bdrv_append() was
already completed or not. Trying to undo the bdrv_append() when it
wasn't even executed is wrong.

Introduce a new boolean flag in the state to fix this.

By the way, how are you finding all these spots? Is it existing qemu-io
tests that are failing? And if so, would mentioning which test exposed
the problem being fixed be worth adding in the commit messages?  If not,
are there some qemu-io tests to be added?

Most of the fixes here are based on qemu-iotests failures that only
appeared after fixing the error path in change_parent_backing_link(),
which is now later in this series. So there is no commit at which
qemu-iotests cases are actually failing, even though they helped me spot
some problems.
