[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vmdk: fix metadata write regression

[Reda Sallahi]

Commit "cde6361 vmdk: add bdrv_co_write_zeroes" causes a regression on
writes. It writes metadata after every write instead of doing it only once
for each cluster.

vmdk_pwritev() writes metadata whenever m_data is set as valid so this patch
sets m_data as valid only when we have a new cluster which hasn't been
allocated before or a zero grain.
