In subject, please remove 'Simulate blockjob --abort' and replace it
e.g. with: 'remove image metadata for running mirror jobs' or something
similar, because this patch does not really do anything with the job
itself.

This applies any time a job is still running. --pivot makes sure that it
finishes after qemu reaches the correct point, but the intermediate
state is still potentially long-running.

Also note that disk->mirror is only present for an active layer commit
job but not for regular commit jobs. Does this bug apply to those as
well?

It's harder to simulate that job though, but if qemu crashes
during the job exactly the same semantics as if --pivot was not used and
the VM was destroyed instead apply. We still relabelled some images.

Also disk->mirror is present also for virDomainBlockCopy which this
commit message omits completely.

You'll have to reformulate the commit message for this patch given that
you persuade me that checking disk->mirror is enough given the existence
of non-active jobs which don't populate disk->mirror.
