qcow2: Force preallocation with data-file-raw
Setting the qcow2 data-file-raw bit means that you can ignore the
qcow2 metadata when reading from the external data file. It does not
mean that you have to ignore it, though. Therefore, the data read must
be the same regardless of whether you interpret the metadata or whether
you ignore it, and thus the L1/L2 tables must all be present and give a
1:1 mapping.
This patch changes 244's output: First, the qcow2 file is larger right
after creation, because of metadata preallocation. Second, the qemu-img
map output changes: Everything that was not explicitly discarded or
zeroed is now a data area.
