Stefan Hajnoczi 29d782710f block: drop bs_snapshots global variable
The bs_snapshots global variable points to the BlockDriverState which
will be used to save vmstate.  This is really a savevm.c concept but was
moved into block.c:bdrv_snapshots() when it became clear that hotplug
could result in a dangling pointer.

While auditing the block layer's global state I came upon bs_snapshots
and realized that a variable is not necessary here.  Simply find the
first BlockDriverState capable of internal snapshots each time this is
needed.

The behavior of bdrv_snapshots() is preserved across hotplug because new
drives are always appended to the bdrv_states list.  This means that
calling the new find_vmstate_bs() function is idempotent - it returns
the same BlockDriverState unless it was hot-unplugged.
