block: Add BlockDriverState.inherits_from
Currently, the block layer assumes that any block node can have only one
parent, and if it has a parent, that it inherits some options/flags from
this parent.
This is not true any more: With references used in block device
creation, a single node can be used by multiple parents, or it can be
created separately and not inherit flags from any parent.
To handle reopens correctly, a node must know from which parent it
inherited options. This patch adds the information to BlockDriverState.
