[Qemu-devel] block/vpc: Fix vhd extra sectors issue

[Lucian Petrut]

At the moment, qemu-img extends new image virtual sizes based
on the CHS algorithm provided by the VHD specs in order to
ensure that the disk geometry (and payload as seen by some
guests which use the CHS value) can fit in the requested disk.

This patch drops this behavior, as it breaks compatibility with
Azure, which requires the MB alignment to be preserved.
