[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH] ext2: Disable .can_multi_conn

[Eric Blake]

Although passing through the plugin's multi-conn status happens to be
safe due to our current .thread_model forbidding parallel connections,
explicitly overriding it now will help us remember to think about the
issue if we later improve the filter to allow parallelism.
