Eric Blake 298a1665a2 block: Allow NULL file for bdrv_get_block_status()
Not all callers care about which BDS owns the mapping for a given
range of the file.  This patch merely simplifies the callers by
consolidating the logic in the common call point, while guaranteeing
a non-NULL file to all the driver callbacks, for no semantic change.
The only caller that does not care about pnum is bdrv_is_allocated,
as invoked by vvfat; we can likewise add assertions that the rest
of the stack does not have to worry about a NULL pnum.

Furthermore, this will also set the stage for a future cleanup: when
a caller does not care about which BDS owns an offset, it would be
nice to allow the driver to optimize things to not have to return
BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID in the first place.  In the case of fragmented
allocation (for example, it's fairly easy to create a qcow2 image
where consecutive guest addresses are not at consecutive host
addresses), the current contract requires bdrv_get_block_status()
to clamp *pnum to the limit where host addresses are no longer
consecutive, but allowing a NULL file means that *pnum could be
set to the full length of known-allocated data.
