In this case we may open the source's backing image chain multiple
times. Setting share flag means the new open won't try to acquire or
check any lock, once we implement image locking.

An alternative is reusing (and bdrv_ref) the existing source's backing
bs instead of opening another one. If we decide that approach is better,
it's better to do it in a separate series.
