Yes, the the problem is exactly the same but users delete incomplete
output files when qemu-img covert is interrupted due to power failure.
That's probably why it hasn't been a priority to fix this qcow2 code
path.

qemu-img is now multi-coroutine, thus the danger is exactly the same.

Kevin: qcow2_alloc_compressed_cluster_offset() sets up an L2 table entry
before doing the compressed data write.  Can the following scenario
occur if there is another request racing with the compressed write?

1. Compressed cluster L2 table entry added to qcow2 in-memory cache
2. Another request forces cached L2 table to be written to disk
3. Power failure or crash before compressed data is written

Now there is an L2 table entry pointing to garbage data.  This violates
qcow2's data integrity model.

I'm not sure if compressed writes are safe...  It may have been okay for
qemu-img convert but the risk is increased when running a VM.
