If librbd has a resize operation then it would be nice to wire up
bdrv_truncate() for completeness.  Note that bdrv_truncate() can also
be called online using the block_resize monitor command.

Since rbd devices are not growable we should fix qemu-iotests to skip
016 for rbd.

Unfortunately I have no core file and wasn't able to reproduce it again.

Is qemu-iotests passing for you now?
