This patch is similar to [1] but reason is different. At time [1] was written
there is a check in virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks (it is removed in [2]) that
won't allow external disks of external snapshot because of wrong align_location
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_LOCATION_INTERNAL. Now this check is gone.
In case of disk snapshot and external snapshots we always dumped disks (see [3]
were at that time libvirt only makes active disk only snapshots, active
internal snaphots and inactive internal snapshots. Then after the patch we
start to dump disks snapshot section for all snapshots and before we do only
active disk only snapshots). So if user's edits to dumped snapshots before
redefine is limited then we don't need actually to call align for external
cases. But's lets leave it for the case and then make disk align same whether
snapshot is redefined first time or not.
[1] 731a5a4 - snapshot: qemu: Allow redefinition of external snapshots
[2] --- * - conf: snapshot: remove snapshot mode checking from disk align
[3] 4201a7e - snapshot: new XML for external system checkpoint
* not yet pushed upstream (part of current patch series)
