[PATCH v6 2/6] block/vdi: Don't assume that blocks are larger than VdiHeader

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: David Edmondson <david.edmondson@oracle.com>

Given that the block size is read from the header of the VDI file, a
wide variety of sizes might be seen. Rather than re-using a block
sized memory region when writing the VDI header, allocate an
appropriately sized buffer.
