As noted by Daniel Berrangé in [*], the fix from commit 807e2b6fce
which replaced malloc() by try_malloc() is not enough, the process
can still run out of memory a few line later:

 346     buf = g_try_malloc0(count + 1);
 347     if (!buf) {
 348         error_setg(errp,
 349                    "failed to allocate sufficient memory "
 350                    "to complete the requested service");
 351         return NULL;
 352     }
 353     is_ok = ReadFile(fh, buf, count, &read_count, NULL);
 354     if (!is_ok) {
 355         error_setg_win32(errp, GetLastError(), "failed to read file");
 356         slog("guest-file-read failed, handle %" PRId64, handle);
 357     } else {
 358         buf[read_count] = 0;
 359         read_data = g_new0(GuestFileRead, 1);
                         ^^^^^^

Instead we are going to put a low hard limit on 'count' in the next
commits. This reverts commit 807e2b6fce022707418bc8f61c069d91c613b3d2.
