[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 01/11] qemu-img: Fix bdrv_has_zero_init() use in convert

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

bdrv_has_zero_init() only has meaning for newly created images or image
areas.  If qemu-img convert did not create the image itself, it cannot
rely on bdrv_has_zero_init()'s result to carry any meaning.
