Can't we use bs->total_sectors instead of adding a new image_size field?

This doesn't check the request type, so it's actually not limited to RW
operations, but even reads will try to resize the image. This is at
least surprising. For regular files, file-posix extends the file for
write requests, but for reads it returns a zeroed buffer without
actually changing the file size.
