qcow2: do not allocate extra memory
There are no needs to allocate more than one cluster, as we set
avail_out for deflate to one cluster.
Zlib docs (http://www.zlib.net/manual.html) says:
"deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full."
So, deflate will not write more than avail_out to output buffer. If
there is not enough space in output buffer for compressed data (it may
be larger than input data) deflate just returns Z_OK. (if all data is
compressed and written to output buffer deflate returns Z_STREAM_END).
