564a6b693828ac38f3f562eed9e8b1dc62f45253 qcow2: Reuse preallocated zero clusters
Instead of just freeing preallocated zero clusters and completely
allocating them from scratch, reuse them.
We cannot do this in handle_copied(), however, since this is a COW
operation. Therefore, we have to add the new logic to handle_alloc() and
simply return the existing offset if it exists. The only catch is that
we have to convince qcow2_alloc_cluster_link_l2() not to free the old
clusters (because we have reused them).
