A malicious or corruption image can contain an infinite loop of backing
files.  The qemu-img info --backing-chain command must not hang when
such files are encountered.

This seems to do what is intended, but I think rather than fixing the
'qemu-img info' special case I'd have fixed bdrv_open() to detect the
situation.

Do we need to properly communicate what the broken image is with JSON
output? This patch will only produce broken JSON in the failure case.

When bdrv_open() on the chain fails we'll still need to iterate each
image (with infinite loop detection) in qemu-img info.  This allows
qemu-img info to print out details of the chain and where the chain goes
wrong.

Ah, you're right.  We must close the JSON array and add a test case for
this :(.

Will send v3.

Depends on the expected output. If you don't print the start of chain
but only an error message with the file name of the image that creates
the loop, you could generate the error in bdrv_open().

But yes, we can have both. It's just that having nothing in bdrv_open()
isn't really satisfying.
