First rbd_close() and then rbd_open() risks that the rbd_open() fails
and we end up with no usable image at all. Can we open a second instance
of the image first and only close the first one if that succeeded?
We already flush all requests before calling this, so that part
shouldn't make a difference.

They change the options and flags that were specified in .bdrv_open().
The most important use case today is switching between read-only and
read-write, but changing the cache mode or any other option can be
requested as well.

This misses the other direction, where you try to turn on caching. If we
don't implement the real functionality, we should always error out if
the bit changes. The most readable check is probably:
(state->flags & BDRV_O_NOCACHE) != (state->bs->open_flags & BDRV_O_NOCACHE)
