rbd: re-submit read request for flattened clone



If a clone image gets flattened while a parent read request is
underway, the original rbd object request needs to be resubmitted.

The reason is that by the time we get the response to the parent
read request, the data read from the parent may be out of date.
In other words, we could see this sequence of events:

    rbd client                      parent image/osd
    ----------                      ----------------
    original object ENOENT;
        issue parent read
                                    respond to parent read
                                    child image flattened
    original image header refresh
             <--- original object written independently here
    parent read response received

Add code to rbd_img_parent_read_callback() to detect when a clone's
parent image has disappeared (as evidenced by its parent overlap
becoming 0), and re-submit the original read request in that case.
