[PATCH v2] block/reqlist: allow adding overlapping requests

[Fiona Ebner]

Allow overlapping request by removing the assert that made it
impossible. There are only two callers:

1. block_copy_task_create()

It already asserts the very same condition before calling
reqlist_init_req().

2. cbw_snapshot_read_lock()

There is no need to have read requests be non-overlapping in
copy-before-write when used for snapshot-access. In fact, there was no
protection against two callers of cbw_snapshot_read_lock() calling
reqlist_init_req() with overlapping ranges and this could lead to an
assertion failure [1].

In particular, with the reproducer script below [0], two
cbw_co_snapshot_block_status() callers could race, with the second
calling reqlist_init_req() before the first one finishes and removes
its conflicting request.

Changes in v2:
* different approach, allowing overlapping requests for
  copy-before-write rather than waiting for them. block-copy already
  asserts there are no conflicts before adding a request.
