If one of backing files for disk source doesn't exist, the guest will not
be able to find and use the disk even though the disk still exists in
guest xml definition. So reporting an error make more sense.

Adding virFileAccessibleAs() to check if the backing file described in
disk meta exist in real path. If not, report error. the uid and gid
s/exist/exists/; s/the/The/

arguments don't have so much meannings for F_OK, so give 0 for them.

Pre-existing, but this nad other errors will be shadowed by the error in
qemuDomainBlockCommit.  The existence of the file is already checked by:

      if (!(*canonical = canonicalize_file_name(combined))) {
this ^^ line, so no need to call virFileAccessibleAs().

Calling virFileAccessibleAs() here is for more clear error message.

And then you report one more error here, even though the function may
fail because of something else.  I'd guess that's why it was a warning.
No idea why it skipped the errors, though.

The errors should be fixed, but this patch just adds more confusion to
the error reporting.

no, VIR_ERROR just adds one more error log item, the actual raised error is still there not being shadowed.
