The children list is specific to BDS parents. We should not modify it

This also has the advantage that a BdrvChild is removed from the
children list before its .bs pointer can become NULL. BDS parents
generally assume that their children's .bs pointer is never NULL, so
this is actually a bug fix.

Interesting that nor child_root neither child_job do similar things in
.attach / .detach ... Should we do something with it?
Well, it’s up to them, I thought. :)
A BB only has a single child, so it doesn’t need a list. Jobs do have
their own child list (BlockJob.nodes). I thought a bit about this when
writing this series, and I figured perhaps they don’t need to care about
that in .attach() and .detach(), because they don’t really expect nodes
to be detached or attached anyway; child_job.stay_at_node is true, after
all.
