During migration, we release all bitmaps after storing them on disk, as

(2) seems arbitrary, though. The reason we do not release them is
because we do not write them, as there is no need to; and then we just
forget about all bitmaps that we have not written to the file. However,
read-only persistent bitmaps are still in the file and in sync with
their in-memory representation, so we may as well release them just like
any R/W bitmap that we have updated.
Agree, better to release all image-owned bitmaps on inactivation of the image.
It leads to actual problems, too: After migration, letting the source
continue may result in an error if there were any bitmaps on read-only
nodes (such as backing images), because those have not been released by
bdrv_inactive_all(), but bdrv_invalidate_cache_all() attempts to reload
them (which fails, because they are still present in memory).

The patch seems OK to me, thanks!
