In case of -EAGAIN returned by update_refcount(), we should discard the cluster offset we were trying to allocate and request a new one, because in theory that old offset might now be taken by a refcount block.
In practice, this was not the case due to update_refcount() generally returning strictly monotonic increasing cluster offsets. However, this behavior is not set in stone, and it is also not obvious when looking at qcow2_alloc_bytes() alone, so we should not rely on it.
