block: Make bdrv_refresh_limits() non-recursive

bdrv_refresh_limits() recurses down to the node's children.  That does
not seem necessary: When we refresh limits on some node, and then
recurse down and were to change one of its children's BlockLimits, then
that would mean we noticed the changed limits by pure chance.  The fact
that we refresh the parent's limits has nothing to do with it, so the
reason for the change probably happened before this point in time, and
we should have refreshed the limits then.

Consequently, we should actually propagate block limits changes upwards,
not downwards.  That is a separate and pre-existing issue, though, and
so will not be addressed in this patch.

The problem with recursing is that bdrv_refresh_limits() is not atomic.
It begins with zeroing BDS.bl, and only then sets proper, valid limits.
If we do not drain all nodes whose limits are refreshed, then concurrent
I/O requests can encounter invalid request_alignment values and crash
qemu.  Therefore, a recursing bdrv_refresh_limits() requires the whole
subtree to be drained, which is currently not ensured by most callers.

A non-recursive bdrv_refresh_limits() only requires the node in question
to not receive I/O requests, and this is done by most callers in some
way or another:
- bdrv_open_driver() deals with a new node with no parents yet
- bdrv_set_file_or_backing_noperm() acts on a drained node
- bdrv_reopen_commit() acts only on drained nodes
- bdrv_append() should in theory require the node to be drained; in
  practice most callers just lock the AioContext, which should at least
  be enough to prevent concurrent I/O requests from accessing invalid
  limits

So we can resolve the bug by making bdrv_refresh_limits() non-recursive.
