[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 15/24] qemu-img: Add find_nonzero()

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

During 'qemu-img compare', when we are checking that an allocated
portion of one file is all zeros, we don't need to waste time
computing how many additional sectors after the first non-zero
byte are also non-zero.  Create a new helper find_nonzero() to do
the check for a first non-zero sector, and rebase
check_empty_sectors() to use it.

The new interface intentionally uses bytes in its interface, even
though it still crawls the buffer a sector at a time; it is robust
to a partial sector at the end of the buffer.
