The block job holds a reference to the backup-top node (because it is passed as the main job BDS to block_job_create()). Therefore, bdrv_backup_top_drop() cannot delete the backup-top node (replacing it by its child does not affect the job parent, because that has .stay_at_node set). That is a problem, because all of its I/O functions assume the BlockCopyState (s->bcs) to be valid and that it has a filtered child; but after bdrv_backup_top_drop(), neither of those things are true.
It does not make sense to add new parents to backup-top after backup_clean(), so we should detach it from the job before bdrv_backup_top_drop(). Because there is no function to do that for a single node, just detach all of the job's nodes -- the job does not do anything past backup_clean() anyway.
