https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467826 Commit id 'b9b1aa639' was supposed to add logic to set the allocation for sparse files when wr_highest_offset was zero; however, an unconditional setting was done just prior. For block devices, this means allocation is always returning 0 since 'actual-size' will be zero. Remove the unconditional setting and add the note about it being possible to still be zero for block devices. As soon as the guest starts writing to the volume, the allocation value will then be obtainable from qemu via the wr_highest_offset.
