external_snapshot_prepare() tries to move the overlay to the AioContext of the backing file (the snapshotted node). However, it's possible that this doesn't work, but the backing file can instead be moved to the overlay's AioContext (e.g. opening the backing chain for a mirror target). bdrv_append() already indirectly uses bdrv_attach_node(), which takes care to move nodes to make sure they use the same AioContext and which tries both directions. So the problem has a simple fix: Just delete the unnecessary extra bdrv_try_set_aio_context() call in external_snapshot_prepare() and instead assert in bdrv_append() that both nodes were indeed moved to the same AioContext.
