qcow2: keep reference on zeroize with discard-no-unref enabled
When the discard-no-unref flag is enabled, we keep the reference for
normal discard requests.
But when a discard is executed on a snapshot/qcow2 image with backing,
the discards are saved as zero clusters in the snapshot image.

When committing the snapshot to the backing file, not
discard_in_l2_slice is called but zero_in_l2_slice. Which did not had
any logic to keep the reference when discard-no-unref is enabled.

Therefor we add logic in the zero_in_l2_slice call to keep the reference
on commit.
