vmdk: remove wrong calculation of relative path

When creating image with backing file, the driver tries to calculate the
relative path from created image file to backing file, but the path
computation is incorrect. e.g.:

    $ qemu-img create -f vmdk -b vmdk-data-disk.vmdk vmdk-data-snapshot1
    Formatting 'vmdk-data-snapshot1', fmt=vmdk size=10737418240
    backing_file='vmdk-data-disk.vmdk' compat6=off zeroed_grain=off

    $ qemu-img info vmdk-data-snapshot1
    image: vmdk-data-snapshot1
    file format: vmdk
    virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
    disk size: 12K
->  backing file: disk.vmdk

The common part in file names, "vmdk-data-", is incorrectly forgotten by
relative_path(). As the VMDK specification has no restriction on
parentNameHint to be relative path, we simply remove this by using the
backing_file option.
