Currently the 'loadvm' opertaion works as following:
1. switch to the snapshot
2. mark current working VDI as a snapshot
3. rely on sd_create_branch to create a new working VDI based on the snapshot
This works not the same as other format as QCOW2. For e.g,
qemu > savevm # get a live snapshot snap1
qemu > savevm # snap2
qemu > loadvm 1 # This will steally create snap3 of the working VDI
Which will result in following snapshot chain:
base <-- snap1 <-- snap2 <-- snap3
^
|
working VDI
snap3 was unnecessarily created and might be annoying users.
This patch discard the unnecessary 'snap3' creation. and implement
rollback(loadvm) operation to the specified snapshot by
1. switch to the snapshot
2. delete working VDI
3. rely on sd_create_branch to create a new working VDI based on the snapshot
The snapshot chain for above example will be:
base <-- snap1 <-- snap2
^

working VDI
