qcow2: Prevent allocating refcount blocks at offset 0
Each entry in the qcow2 cache contains an offset field indicating the location of the data in the qcow2 image. If the offset is 0 then it means that the entry contains no data and is available to be used when needed. Because of that it is not possible to store in the cache the first cluster of the qcow2 image (offset = 0). This is not a problem because that cluster always contains the qcow2 header and we're not using this cache for that. However, if the qcow2 image is corrupted it can happen that we try to allocate a new refcount block at offset 0, triggering this assertion and crashing QEMU: qcow2_cache_entry_mark_dirty: Assertion `c->entries[i].offset != 0' failed This patch adds an explicit check for this scenario and a new test case.
