At the moment we're only returning QCOW2_SUBCLUSTER_INVALID in cases
where there is no way to interpret the entry correctly: a) the
allocation and zero bits are set for the same subcluster, and b) the
allocation bit is set but the entry has no valid offset.
It doesn't mean that we cannot use _SUBCLUSTER_INVALID for cases like
the one we're discussing, but this one is different from the other two.
