commit_complete() can't assume that after its block_job_completed() the job is actually immediately freed; someone else may still be holding references. In this case, the op blockers on the intermediate nodes make the graph reconfiguration in the completion code fail.
Call block_job_remove_all_bdrv() manually so that we know for sure that any blockers on intermediate nodes are given up.
