[PATCH for-4.2? 0/6] block: Fix resize (extending) of short overlays

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Consider the following scenario where the overlay is shorter than its
backing file:

    base.qcow2:     AAAAAAAA
    overlay.qcow2:  BBBB

When resizing (extending) overlay.qcow2, the new blocks should not stay
unallocated and make the additional As from base.qcow2 visible like
before this series, but zeros should be read.

A similar case happens with the various variants of a commit job when an
intermediate file is short (- for unallocated):

    base.qcow2:     A-A-AAAA
    mid.qcow2:      BB-B
    top.qcow2:      C--C--C-

After commit top.qcow2 to mid.qcow2, the following happens:

    mid.qcow2:      CB-C00C0 (correct result)
    mid.qcow2:      CB-C--C- (before this fix)

Without the fix, blocks that previously read as zeros on top.qcow2
suddenly turn into A.
