Without this change, asserting that qemu_io always returns 0 causes this
test to fail in a way we happened not to be catching previously:
qemu.utils.VerboseProcessError: Command
'('/home/jsnow/src/qemu/bin/git/tests/qemu-iotests/../../qemu-io',
'--cache', 'writeback', '--aio', 'threads', '-f', 'qcow2', '-c',

returned non-zero exit status 1.

The commit jobs changes the backing file string stored in the image file
header belonging to the node above the commit’s top node to point to the
commit target (the base node). QEMU tries to be as accurate as
possible, and so in these test cases will include the filter that is
part of the block graph in that backing file string (by virtue of making
it a json:{} description of the post-commit subgraph). This makes
little sense outside of QEMU, though: Specifically, the throttle node in
that subgraph will dearly miss its supposedly associated throttle group
object.
When starting the commit job, we can specify a custom backing file
string to write into said image file, so let’s use that feature to write
the plain filename of the backing chain’s next actual image file there.
Explicitly provide the backing file so that opening the file outside of
QEMU (Where we will not have throttle groups) will succeed.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
