[libvirt] [PATCH 10/11] qemu: drivePivot: Fix assumption when 'block-job-complete' fails

[Peter Krempa]

QEMU does not abandon the mirror. The job carries on in the synchronised
phase and it might be either pivoted again or cancelled. The commit
hints that the described behavior was happening in a downstream version.

Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202704

Notes:
    I've spent some time looking how the active commit and copy  job actually
    works in qemu, but I did not check if that behavior changed in the upstream
    releases. At any rate, it makes sense  thus I expect that it was there ever-since.
