Should this be |= instead of &=? I think the intention is to set the
bit.

wps->wp[i] looks wrong in two cases:
1. After the first iteration of the while (n < nrz) loop.
2. When offset > 0.

I think there should be a j variable that tracks the index into wp[]. It
should be initialized outside the while loop based on offset and
incremented inside the for loop.

This needs to be g_free(bs->wps) to avoid leaking the odl bs->wps
memory.

(There are more complex solutions that reuse bs->wps when nr_zones has
not gotten larger, but freeing and allocating a new one is the simple
solution for now. This code isn't performance-critical.)

QEMU_LOCK_GUARD() has lexical scope so its lifetime ends at the end of
the {} block. Therefore it doesn't lock for the remainder of the
function.

This is a case where it's necessary to use qemu_co_mutex_lock() directly
and remember to qemu_co_mutex_unlock() at the exit point of this
function.
