blktap: Fix old QCow tapdisk image handling

When I tried to use QCow image, I found that only each second boot is
successful. As I discovered, this is caused by wrong handling old qcow
tapdisk images. Extended header flag is not stored correctly so the
blktap tries to change endian fo L1 table on each startup.
