Sending the right snapshot context with each write is required for snapshots to work. Due to the ordering of calls, the snapshot context is never set for any requests. This causes writes to the current version of the image to be reflected in all snapshots, which are supposed to be read-only. This happens because rbd_osd_req_format_write() sets the snapshot context based on obj_request->img_request. At this point, however, obj_request->img_request has not been set yet, to the snapshot context is set to NULL. Fix this by moving rbd_img_obj_request_add(), which sets obj_request->img_request, before the osd request formatting calls.
