When handling sparse stream, a thread is executed. This thread
runs a read() or write() loop (depending what API is called; in
this case it's virStorageVolDownload() and this the thread run
read() loop). The read() is handled in virFDStreamThreadDoRead()
which is then data/hole section aware, meaning it uses
virFileInData() to detect data and hole sections and sends
TYPE_DATA or TYPE_HOLE virStream messages accordingly.
However, virFileInData() does not work with block devices. Simply
because block devices don't have data and hole sections. What we
can do though, is to mimic being always in a DATA section.
