commit: reopen overlay_bs before base
'block-commit' needs write access to two different nodes of the chain: - 'base', because that's where the data is written to. - the overlay of 'top', because it needs to update the backing file string to point to 'base' after the operation. Both images have to be opened in read-write mode, and commit_start() takes care of reopening them if necessary. With the current implementation, however, when overlay_bs is reopened in read-write mode it has the side effect of making 'base' read-only again, eventually making 'block-commit' fail. This needs to be fixed in bdrv_reopen(), but until we get to that it can be worked around simply by swapping the order of base and overlay_bs in the reopen queue. In order to reproduce this bug, overlay_bs needs to be initially in read-only mode. That is: the 'top' parameter of 'block-commit' cannot be the active layer nor its immediate backing chain.
