Looks good, but by applying the same logic, you could do the same call
in qcow2_cache_create(). So what about it? :-)
But after qcow2_cache_create() the memory is still unused so this
doesn't have any affect.

That was too easy. Right.

Also note that bdrv_commit() is used only by the HMP commit operation,
not by QMP commit.
Thanks, I should probably clarify that in the commit message.
