[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 11/28] qcow2: set L2 cache dependency in qcow2_alloc_bytes()

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

Compressed writes use qcow2_alloc_bytes() to allocate space with byte
granularity.  The affected clusters' refcounts will be incremented but
we do not need to flush yet.

Set a L2 cache dependency on the refcount block cache, so that the
refcounts get written out before the L2 updates.
