[libvirt] [PATCH] snapshot: affect persistent xml after disk snapshot

For external snapshots to be useful on persistent domains, we must
alter the persistent definition alongside the running definition.
Thanks to the possibility of disk hotplug as well as of edits that
only affect the persistent xml, we can't assume that vm->def and
vm->newDef have the same disk at the same index, so we can only
update the persistent copy if the device destination matches up.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive)
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Also affect newDef, if
present.
---

This is worth including in 0.9.5 - without it, the new feature of
disk snapshots on a persistent domain are lost the moment the domain
stops running, which is likely to cause data corruption for guests.

I'm still trying to reproduce another reported snapshot failure:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738676
although I don't think this patch will help that issue.
