highest-allocated-offset is written to a disk only if block device was closed
properly, so this value can't actually be trusted to be accurate. How
important is to maintain it accurate? If it is important it should be
saved on disk as part of a metadata update and if it is not it can be
updated on a first guest write that requires new block allocation.
