charset="utf-8" qcow2 version 2 images don't support the zero flag for clusters, so for write_zeroes requests, we return -ENOTSUP and get explicit zero buffer writes. If the image doesn't have a backing file, we can do better: Just discard the respective clusters. This is relevant for 'qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -n', where qemu-img has to assume that the existing target image may contain any data, so it has to write zeroes. Without this patch, this results in a fully allocated target image, even if the source image was empty.
