For block replication, we have such backing chain: secondary disk <-- hidden disk <-- active disk secondary disk is top BDS (use bacing reference), so it can be opened in read-write mode. But hidden disk is read only, and we need to write to hidden disk (backup job will write data to it).
TODO: support opening backing file in read-write mode if the BDS is created by QMP command blockdev-add.
