[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block: Make bdrv_img_create() size selection easier to read

[Eric Blake]

All callers of bdrv_img_create() pass in a size, or -1 to read the
size from the backing file.  We then set that size as the QemuOpt
default, which means we will reuse that default rather than the
final parameter to qemu_opt_get_size() several lines later.  But
it is rather confusing to read subsequent checks of 'size == -1'
when it looks (without seeing the full context) like size defaults
to 0; it also doesn't help that a size of 0 is valid (for some
formats).

Rework the logic to make things more legible.
