[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1592590] [NEW] Prevent qemu-img resize from causing "Active L1 table too large" |

Public bug reported:
This commit prevents qemu from overallocating if qcow2 image is too big
(whatever that means): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-
devel/2014-07/msg01481.html
However, `qemu-img resize` isn't protected by the same code and allows
to go beyond that.
address@hidden ~virtkick/hdd # qemu-img resize
33_test_609dffde-eb51-4b75-918d-b814f1bcb526.qcow2 +100000T
Image resized.
Which then causes "Active L1 table too large" error that cannot be
reversed.

qemu-img: Could not open '33_test_609dffde-eb51-4b75-918d-b814f1bcb526.qcow2':
Active L1 table too large

qemu-img: Could not open '33_test_609dffde-eb51-4b75-918d-b814f1bcb526.qcow2':
Active L1 table too large
I originally faces this bug when I passed wrong parameters to qemu-img in a
programatic way which caused an image to go corrupt. It's good to protect
user's images from being resized too much.
