And indeed, this has tripped up libvirt in the past :)

My only concern is what if you truly have a 0-length job?  For example,
when doing two block-stream commands with identical arguments in a row,
the second block-stream has no work to do, but can complete instantly.

Will this result in such a job never reporting 100% complete?  If so,
that's bad.

If you can answer my concerns that we don't have a design bug, then the
code changes look correct, and you can add:

Also, note that this promotes to double rather than float; maybe you
want to use 0.f instead of 0.00 to keep the ternary as a float?  But it
shouldn't make a difference in practice.
