Some Proxmox users reported an occasional assertion failure [0][1] in
busy VMs when using drive mirror with active mode. In particular, the
failure may occur for zero writes shorter than the job granularity:

> #0  0x00007b421154b507 in abort ()
> #1  0x00007b421154b420 in ?? ()

        bytes=4096, qiov=0x0, flags=0)
> #5  0x0000641c58061f31 in bdrv_mirror_top_pwrite_zeroes (bs=0x641c7e62e1f0,
        offset=852480, bytes=4096, flags=0)

The range for the dirty bitmap described by dirty_bitmap_offset and
dirty_bitmap_end is narrower than the original range and in fact,
dirty_bitmap_end might be smaller than dirty_bitmap_offset. There
already is a check for 'dirty_bitmap_offset < dirty_bitmap_end' before
resetting the dirty bitmap. Add such a check for setting the zero
bitmap too, which uses the same narrower range.
