[Devel] [PATCH VZ10 06/10] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: update metadata on subclusters discard

On images with extended L2 entries a discard smaller than the whole
cluster only punches a hole in the image file, while the subcluster
allocation bitmap still reports the range as allocated.
Extend prepare_cluster_discard() to also handle discards covering
whole subclusters of a mapped non-compressed cluster: clear the
"allocated" bits of the covered subclusters in the extended L2 entry
via the existing only_set_ext_l2 machinery. If the range may be
mapped in lower delta, set the "reads as zeroes" bits instead, so the
discarded range doesn't expose stale lower data. The cluster itself
remains allocated, so refcounts are not touched and the unuse stage
has nothing to do (empty unuse range). The covered range is hole
punched unless the cluster is shared with a snapshot.
ext_l2 and unuse range handling are in different if blocks for a while:
next patch will cover the case when we need uncoupling.
