block: Allow replacement of a BDS by its overlay

change_parent_backing_link() asserts that the BDS to be replaced is not
used as a backing file. However, we may want to replace a BDS by its
overlay in which case that very link should not be redirected.

For instance, when doing a sync=none drive-mirror operation, we may have
the following BDS/BB forest before block job completion:

  target

  base <- source <- BlockBackend

During job completion, we want to establish the source BDS as the
target's backing node:

          target
            |
            v
  base <- source <- BlockBackend

This makes the target a valid replacement for the source:

          target <- BlockBackend
            |
            v
  base <- source

Without this modification to change_parent_backing_link() we have to
inject the target into the graph before the source is its backing node,
thus temporarily creating a wrong graph:

  target <- BlockBackend

  base <- source
