-    tests: fix false dd conv=sparse failure on newer XFS
-    
-    * tests/dd/sparse.sh: When testing that a hole is created,
-    use an existing sparse destination file, so that we're
-    not write extending the file size, and thus avoiding
-    speculative preallocation which can result in smaller
-    holes than requested.
-    Workaround suggested by Brian Foster
