[libvirt] [PATCH] blockcopy: check dst = identical device

Check whether dst is the same device as source, if yes, report
error and exit.

Currently if dst is the same device as source, blockcopy is still
going and qemu 'drive-mirror' is executed. Considering that:
a). blockcopy to the same device is meaningless. b.) result is
unexpected. (tested with block device whose source path is /dev/sdaX,
after blockcopy, shutdown VM and then create VM from xml again, the
VM cannot be started.) This case should not be allowed.
