qcow2: Fix overly broad madvise()
@mem_size and @offset are both size_t, thus subtracting them from one another will just return a big size_t if mem_size < offset -- even more obvious here because the result is stored in another size_t. Checking that result to be positive is therefore not sufficient to exclude the case that offset > mem_size. Thus, we currently sometimes issue an madvise() over a very large address range. This is triggered by iotest 163, but with -m64, this does not result in tangible problems. But with -m32, this test produces three segfaults, all of which are fixed by this patch.
