h1. Export rbd diff between clone and parent

h3. Summary

                      s1

parent           O----O-------O

                                                    |      s2

clone                 O---O----O

                     (f)

Currently,  there is no way to export diff betwen s2 and s1, if I forget to create snap (f) when clone image created.

So, this blueprint will add the function to handle it.
