This simplifies some code and error checking, and also fixes a bug.

bdrv_find_backing_image() should only be passed absolute filenames,
or filenames relative to the chain.  In the QMP message handler for
block commit, when looking up the base do so from the determined top
image, so we know it is reachable from top.

As long as you are touching this code:

please swap this to 'has_base && base' to avoid any potential of
valgrind warnings about conditional jump based on uninitialized memory.

Also, I raised another bug[1] about a bad error message regarding
top_bs, if the user passes a different spelling than the canonical name
of the active image.  Is that worth fixing in this series, or is it okay
to leave it until you actually add support for committing the top image?

Since this doesn't pose an actual issue now, I was planning on just
addressing that with the stage-2 patches, since that will likely touch
other related areas of the code anyway.  If you have major heartburn
over this, I'll change it now.

Nah, waiting is fine.  As I said in the original bug report, it is only
a poor quality error message at the moment, and fixing it may be easier
once you have additional pieces in place for committing the active
image.  I just wanted to make sure the report wasn't lost.
