Use local variable to bdrv_pwrite_sync L1 table,
needless to make conversion of cached L1 table between

v1 -> v2:
   - remove the superflous assignment, l1_table = NULL;
   - replace 512 with BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE, and align_offset with ROUND_UP
   - remove needless check of if (l1_table) before g_free(l1_table)

I'm sorry, but I just now realized that we don't even need the 0 variant
here. We are never accessing any element beyond l1_table[l1_size - 1],
and all elements from 0 until l1_size - 1 are overwritten by
bdrv_pread() or memcpy(). Therefore we can simply use
qemu_try_blockalign(bs->file, l1_size2) here.

OK, I will replace g_try_malloc0(ROUND_UP(l1_size2, BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE)) with
qemu_try_blockalign(bs, ROUND_UP(l1_size2, BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE)).

You can actually omit the ROUND_UP(). There are no accesses beyond l1_table[l1_size - 1], if I'm not mistaken.

(and we should be using qemu_{try_,}blockalign() instead of
g_{try_,}malloc{0,}() whenever possible for performance reasons)

But I realized something even more important as well: If you are
modifying the current L1 table, you need to copy the result back to
s->l1_table.

My fault.
Sorry for having missed these in my previous review.
