2ac01520be8717f3492b10a083c3e0e22cb52cda qcow2: Make qcow2_alloc_bytes() more explicit
In case of -EAGAIN returned by update_refcount(), we should discard the
cluster offset we were trying to allocate and request a new one, because
in theory that old offset might now be taken by a refcount block.
In practice, this was not the case due to update_refcount() generally
returning strictly monotonic increasing cluster offsets. However, this
behavior is not set in stone, and it is also not obvious when looking at
qcow2_alloc_bytes() alone, so we should not rely on it.
