bdrv_invalidate_cache_all() assumes that all nodes in a given subtree
are either active or inactive when it starts. Therefore, as soon as it
arrives at an already active node, it stops.

However, this assumption is wrong. For example, it's possible to take a
snapshot of an inactive node, which results in an active overlay over an
inactive backing file. The active overlay is probably also the root node
of an inactive BlockBackend (blk->disable_perm == true).

In this case, bdrv_invalidate_cache_all() does not need to do anything
to activate the overlay node, but it still needs to recurse into the
children and the parents to make sure that after returning success,
really everything is activated.

Basically the only change is to not skip the whole function when the
node is already active but only the part that actually activates the
node.  blk_root_activate() is a no-op for already-active BBs, so this
looks good to me.
