[Qemu-block] [PATCH 0/7] qcow2 check improvements

Hi all!

We've faced the following problem: after host fs corruption, vm images
becomes invalid. And which is interesting, starting qemu-img check on
them led to allocating of the whole RAM and then killing qemu-img by
OOM Killer.

This was due to corrupted l2 entries, which referenced clusters far-far
beyond the end of the qcow2 file.
02 is a generic fix for the bug, 01 is unrelated improvement, 03-07 are
additional info and fixing for such corrupted table entries.

Questions on 02, 06 and 07:
1. Should restrictions be more or less strict?
2. Are there valid cases, when such entries should not be considered as
   corrupted?
