When referring to a backing file of an image via node name
bdrv_open_backing_file would add the 'driver' option to the option list
filling it with the backing format driver. This breaks construction of
the backing chain via -blockdev, as bdrv_open_inherit reports an error
if both 'reference' and 'options' are provided.

$ qemu-img create -f raw /tmp/backing.raw 64M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F raw -b /tmp/backing.raw /tmp/test.qcow2
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -blockdev driver=file,filename=/tmp/backing.raw,node-name=backing \
  -blockdev driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=/tmp/test.qcow2,node-name=root,backing=backing
qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=/tmp/test.qcow2,node-name=root,backing=backing: Could not open backing file: Cannot reference an existing block device with additional options or a new filename
