Using bdrv_replace_node() for removing filter is not good enough: it keeps child reference of the filter, which may conflict with original top node during permission update.
Instead let's create new interface, which will do all graph modifications first and then update permissions. Let's modify bdrv_replace_node_common(), allowing it additionally drop backing chain child link pointing to new node. This is quite appropriate for bdrv_drop_intermediate() and makes possible to add new bdrv_drop_filter() as a simple wrapper.
