    qcow2: Optimize bdrv_make_empty() · 94054183

    bdrv_make_empty() is currently only called if the current image
    represents an external snapshot that has been committed to its base
    image; it is therefore unlikely to have internal snapshots. In this
    case, bdrv_make_empty() can be greatly sped up by emptying the L1 and
    refcount table (while having the dirty flag set, which only works for
    compat=1.1) and creating a trivial refcount structure.
    
    If there are snapshots or for compat=0.10, fall back to the simple
    implementation (discard all clusters).
