Evgeniy Kochetov 2e7a7fe530 blob: Optimize copy-on-write flow for clusters backed by zeroes device
Writing to unallocated cluster triggers copy-on-write sequence. If
this cluster is backed by zeroes device we can skip the copy part. For
a simple thin provisioned volume copy this shortcut is already
implemented because `blob->parent_id == SPDK_BLOBID_INVALID`. But this
will not work for thin provisioned volumes created from snapshot. In
this case we need to traverse the whole stack of underlying
`spdk_bs_dev` devices for specific cluster to check if it is zeroes
backed.

This patch adds `is_zeroes` operation to `spdk_bs_dev`. For zeroes
device it always returns 'true', for real bdev (`blob_bs_dev`) always
returns false, for another layer of `blob_bs_dev` does lba conversion
and forwards to backing device.

In blobstore's cluster copy flow we check if cluster is backed by
zeroes device and skip copy part if it is.
