This doesn't really initialise anything to zero. It merely preallocates
those parts of a file that aren't allocated yet (and they happen to be
zeroed in this case), but leaves already existing parts untouched.

I wonder if this would be a correct implementation for a bdrv_anchor(),
though. I also wouldn't call that full preallocation, but it might be
useful anyway.
