[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] dm-qcow2: fix a merge reporting success after a failed write

From: Denis V. Lunev <den at openvz.org>
qcow2_service_iter() collects the status of its service qios in a
function-local static shared by every dm-qcow2 device, and resets it
to OK when it starts. A merge or L1 COW break starting on one device
while another one runs wipes the error the other one recorded. That
one then finishes and reports success although a qio failed, so
userspace may complete the merge and drop the top image, losing data
that never reached the lower image.
Keep the status on the stack. The qios carry a pointer to it, so the
function must not return while one of them is outstanding: every exit
already waits for service_qios to drain.
