nbd: server: Report holes for raw images

Browse Source 
When querying image extents for raw image, qemu-nbd reports holes as
zero:

$ qemu-nbd -t -r -f raw empty-6g.raw

$ qemu-img map --output json nbd://localhost
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": true, "offset": 0}]

$ qemu-img map --output json empty-6g.raw
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": false, "offset": 0}]

Turns out that qemu-img map reports a hole based on BDRV_BLOCK_DATA, but
nbd server reports a hole based on BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED.

The NBD protocol says:

    NBD_STATE_HOLE (bit 0): if set, the block represents a hole (and
    future writes to that area may cause fragmentation or encounter an
    NBD_ENOSPC error); if clear, the block is allocated or the server
    could not otherwise determine its status.

qemu-img manual says:

    whether the sectors contain actual data or not (boolean field data;
    if false, the sectors are either unallocated or stored as
    optimized all-zero clusters);

To me, data=false looks compatible with NBD_STATE_HOLE. From user point
of view, getting same results from qemu-nbd and qemu-img is more
important than being more correct about allocation status.

Changing nbd server to report holes using BDRV_BLOCK_DATA makes qemu-nbd
results compatible with qemu-img map:

$ qemu-img map --output json nbd://localhost
[{ "start": 0, "length": 6442450944, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data": false, "offset": 0}]
