Since df2a6f29a5, bdrv_co_do_writev increases the total_sectors value of
a growable block devices on writes after the current end. This leads to
the virtual disk apparently growing in qcow2_save_vmstate, which in turn
affects the disk size captured by the internal snapshot taken directly
afterwards through e.g. the HMP savevm command. Such a "grown" snapshot
cannot be loaded after reopening the qcow2 image, since its disk size
differs from the actual virtual disk size (writing a VM state does not
actually increase the virtual disk size).

Fix this by restoring total_sectors at the end of qcow2_save_vmstate.

Ah, right, sorry, I forgot.
