You do need a zero check, but it's only for normal/zero clusters, not
for compressed ones; and it must check offset & L2E_OFFSET_MASK (or
cluster_index) rather than offset itself.
So I think you end up removing the outer if (offset != 0) and adding a
new inner check in case QCOW2_CLUSTER_NORMAL/ZERO.
