There is only one failure point: bdrv_change_backing_file in this
function, so we can drop the qlist and try to change the backing file
before deleting anything.

This way bdrv_drop_intermediate is simplified while keeping the
operation transactional. A bonus is dropping an active BDS is supported
too by swapping the base and top. Although no caller uses this yet, the
comment is updated to reflect the change.

So base->drv is non-NULL if we get here...

...yet you are checking it for NULL here.

This does check for that, but it doesn't catch all errors.

It will verify:

[base] -> [active]

And verifies:

[top] -> [active]   (when active is != top)

However, it does not verify that the following is true:

[base] -> [top]

(e.g., it will pass on [top] -> [base] -> [active])

Rather than add another call to bdrv_find_overlay to verify the last
case, would just adding the bdrv_swap() and a check for active ==
top to the existing function do what you need for the active layer
support?
