bdrv_commit() already has a BlockBackend pointing to the BDS that we want to empty, it just has the wrong permissions.
qemu-img commit has no BlockBackend pointing to the old backing file yet, but introducing one is simple. After this commit, bdrv_make_empty() is the only remaining caller of BlockDriver.bdrv_make_empty().
