Yes, this makes me realize that ref count it not a solution to retire
bs->in_use, because we can't tell if drive-del or block-resize is safe
with only reference number. But I can't think of two situations to deny
different subsets of commands, shouldn't a general blocker, like in_use
does, be good enough?
