qdev: Reject drive property override
qdev_prop_set_drive() screws up when the property already has a
non-null value: it neglects to release the old value. Both the old
and the new backend become attached to the same device.
Example (taken from iotest 172): -fda ... -drive if=none,... -global
floppy.drive=none0.
Special case: attempting to use the same backend both times fails.
Example (also from iotest 172): -fda ... -global floppy.drive=floppy0.
Yet another example: -device with multiple drive=... (but not
device_add, which silently drops all but the last duplicate property).
Perhaps drive property override could be made to work. Perhaps it
should. I can't afford the time to figure this out now. What I can
do is reject usage that leaves backends in unhealthy states. For what
it's worth, we've long done the same for netdev properties.
