This error was discovered by fuzzing qemu-img.

The current offset calculation leads to an EIO error
in block/block-backend.c: blk_check_byte_request():

 if (offset > len || len - offset < bytes) {
     return -EIO;
 }

This triggers the error message:
"qemu-img: Failed request: Input/output error".

Example of the issue:
 offset: 260076
 len: 260096
 bytes: 4096

This fix ensures that offset remains within a valid range.

The approach makes sense in principle, but you just introduced a new
division by zero here if image_size == bufsize (in this case we want to
use 0 as the new offset).

We probably also don't want to allow this to become negative.
