True for qemu-img info and maybe even qemu-img compare (and qemu-img map
is just a debugging tool, so that's fine, too), but I don't think
qemu-img check is very useful. You're not unlikely to see leaks and
maybe even errors (with lazy_refcounts=on) which don't mean anything
because they will go away once the VM is shut down.

I agree that there is no harm in doing it, but for qemu-img check I also
think it isn't very useful either.

Anyway, you can keep it since I think it should not be doing anything:
The formats implementing qemu-img check should clear BDRV_O_SHARE_RW
anyway (unless overridden however that may work).

If you want to keep this for img_check() (and I'm not going to stop you
if you do), I think it would be better to put this right in front of
img_open() to make it really clear that both are not set at the same
time (without having to look into bdrv_parse_cache_mode()).
