I am not sure how I created the image 'hhan/2'  in the default namespace.
It cannot be created by
rbd command now. However it seems buggy on
qemu-img(librbd1-12.2.7-9.el8.x86_64
qemu-img-5.1.0-3.module+el8.3.0+7708+740a1315.x86_64):
➜  ~ rbd -c ~/.ceph/ceph.conf -k ~/.ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
namespace ls

➜  ~ qemu-img create

qemu-img:
rbd:rbd/aa/new1:conf=/root/.ceph/ceph.conf:id=admin:key=AQBm9fldc9zhMhAAeDDedFhu55XjV1YhdqDOkQ==:

file format: raw

disk size: unavailable
cluster_size: 4194304

Well, the image "rbd/aa/new1" could be found by qemu-img but cannot be
listed by rbd. Very confusing here.

Since the '/' in image name is invalid, the format of name attribute
"<pool>/[pool-ns]<image>" is more sensible.
I will adapt that in the next patch series.
