The bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() call here fills complete clusters with zeroes, but it can happen that some subclusters are not part of the write request or the copy-on-write. This patch makes sure that only the affected subclusters are overwritten. A potential improvement would be to also fill with zeroes the other subclusters if we can guarantee that we are not overwriting existing data. However this would waste more disk space, so we should first evaluate if it's really worth doing.
