Regression is introduced by commit e30297b0. After that, it will
report "Cannot fill file" error with following xml file:
<volume>
<name>virtinst-vmlinuz-xen.tP1NHh</name>
<capacity>4343792</capacity>
<allocation>0</allocation>
<target>
<format type="raw"/>
<nocow/>
</target>
</volume>
Because of this, installing xen pv guest with virt-manager fails.
Reason is: posix_fallocate(int fd, off_t offset, off_t len) will
return EINVAL when len is equal to 0. So, this patch adds a check
before calling safezero().
