We are going to publish copy-before-write filter. So, user should be able to create it with blockdev-add first, specifying both filtered and target children. And then do blockdev-reopen, to actually insert the filter where needed.
Currently, filter unshares write permission unconditionally on source node. It's good, but it will not allow to do blockdev-add. So, let's relax restrictions when filter doesn't have any parent. Test output is modified, as now permission conflict happens only when job creates a blk parent for filter node.
