In 1.7.1 qcow2_create2 reopen the file for flushing without the BDRV_O_NO_BACKING flags. As a consequence the code would recursively open the whole backing chain. These three stack arrays would pile up through the recursion and lead to a coroutine stack overflow. Convert these array to malloced buffers in order to streamline the coroutine footprint. Symptoms where freezes or segfaults on production machines while taking QMP externals snapshots. The overflow disturbed coroutine switching.
