[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v3 1/3] dm-qcow2: add qcow2_md_page_read_sync() helper

Add a helper, which returns an up to date md page from md cache,
or allocates a new one, inserts it and reads it synchronously.
On read failure the page is erased from cache and freed.

Use it in qcow2_parse_header() instead of open-coded allocation
and read of page 0. It will also be used by the next patch.
