Max Reitz ba2ab2f2ca qcow2: Flush image after creation
Opening the qcow2 image with BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH prevents any flushes during
the image creation. This means that the image has not yet been flushed
to disk when qemu-img create exits. This flush is delayed until the next
operation on the image involving opening it without BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH and
closing (or directly flushing) it. For large images and/or images with a
small cluster size and preallocated metadata, this flush may take a
significant amount of time and may occur unexpectedly.

Reopening the image without BDRV_O_NO_FLUSH right before the end of
qcow2_create2() results in hoisting the potentially costly flush into
the image creation, which is expected to take some time (whereas
successive image operations may be not).
