It seems the same problem exists in qcow/qcow2, why do we not add the 
limit in bdrv_is_allocated? Then it can cover all formats.

Actually, I can't figure out how the caller can go beyond the end of the 
image.  If the I/O request for sectors beyond image size comes from 
guest, it should be dropped in the guest block layer.  If the request 
comes from qemu, like block streaming, it should also honor the image 
size, right?
