Commit Message

Non-active block commits do not discard blocks only containing zeros,
causing images to lose sparseness after the commit. This commit fixes
that by writing zero blocks using blk_co_pwrite_zeroes rather than
writing them out as any other arbitrary data.

indentation broken

Why this is needed? Could we blindly do write-zeroes at original (offset, n)? Underlying logic would use any possiblity to write zeroes effectively, and unaligned tails (if any) would be written as data.

This originates from the mirroring code. I did some testing and it 
indeed is not necessary in this case. Letting it the underlying code 
handle it also simplifies this code quite a bit.
