[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1] drivers/md/dm-qcow2: truncate unused tail of image on suspend

On postsuspend we truncate the image file only down to
file_preallocated_area_start, i.e. we drop preallocations only.
Clusters at the end of the file freed by discard (refcount dropped
to zero) are never given back, so the file size never shrinks.

Add qcow2_calc_used_end(), which scans refcount blocks backward from
the end of the file and returns the end of the last cluster with
non-zero refcount. Refcount ranges with no allocated refblock are
skipped at once. Metadata pages are taken from md cache or read
synchronously. This is called on suspended device after md
writeback, so R1 and R2 can't change under us.

Truncate the file to min(file_preallocated_area_start, used end).
Skip the scan if md writeback failed, as refcounts on disk are stale
then, and fall back to the old behaviour on scan error.
