QED's metadata caching strategy allows two parallel requests to race for
metadata lookup. The first one to complete will populate the metadata
cache and the second one will drop the data it just read in favor of the
cached data.
There is a use-after-free in qed_read_l2_table_cb() and
qed_commit_l2_update() where l2_table->offset was used after the
l2_table may have been freed due to a metadata lookup race. Fix this by
keeping the l2_offset in a local variable and not reaching into the
possibly freed l2_table.

The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy
during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and
can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts).
Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be
removed.

This patch adds code to look up data cluster offsets in the image via
the L1/L2 tables. The L2 tables are writethrough cached in memory for
performance (each read/write requires a lookup so it is essential to
cache the tables).
With cluster lookup code in place it is possible to implement
bdrv_is_allocated() to query the number of contiguous
allocated/unallocated clusters.
