Yes, of course I meant to include the switch as well.

Well, I don't know; for zero clusters, the if statement is required
anyway (since qcow2_get_cluster_type does not distinguish between
allocated and non-allocated zero clusters), so I though we might as well
just leave it where it is (just slightly adjusted in the way I proposed).
