Do you have a reproducer for this or did code review lead you to this?

At the moment I can't see how bdrv_discard(bs->file) could ever free a
Qcow2DiscardRegion of bs, as it's working on a completely different
BlockDriverState (which usually won't even be a qcow2 one).

This shouldn't happen in a nested call either, as s->lock can't be taken
recursively.
