Eric Blake 3b4b9aee83 qemu: forbid snapshot-delete --children-only on external snapshot
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956506 documents that
given a domain where an internal snapshot parent has an external
snapshot child, we lacked a safety check when trying to use the
--children-only option to snapshot-delete:

$ virsh start dom
$ virsh snapshot-create-as dom internal
$ virsh snapshot-create-as dom external --disk-only
$ virsh snapshot-delete dom external
error: Failed to delete snapshot external
error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet
$ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children
error: Failed to delete snapshot internal
error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet
$ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children-only
Domain snapshot internal children deleted

While I'd still like to see patches that actually do proper external
snapshot deletion, we should at least fix the inconsistency in the
meantime.  With this patch:

$ virsh snapshot-delete dom internal --children-only
error: Failed to delete snapshot internal
error: unsupported configuration: deletion of 1 external disk snapshots not supported yet

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Fix condition.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
