So this means that if fallocate wants to BDEV_RES_PROVISION N blocks, it must
first increase the reservation (BDEV_RES_MOD) by N blocks to avoid using up
space that was previously reserved by some other caller.  I think?

Having reserved and mapped blocks, what happens when we try to read them?
Do we actually get zeroes, or does the read go straight through to whatever
happens to be in the disk blocks?  I don't think it's correct that we could
BDEV_RES_PROVISION and end up with stale credit card numbers from some other
thin device.

(PS: I don't know enough about thinp to know if this has already been taken
care of.  I didn't see anything, but who knows what I missed. :))
