If fallocate succeeds here, there's no need to copy zero bytes from the
source.

This breaks sparse file creation on systems without fallocate.

I'd rahter use !need_alloc instead of want_sparse here, because
sparseness only makes sense for cloning volumes, but the bool affects
creating new volumes as well.

This calculation assumes that 'remain' contains the bytes remaining to
the target allocation, but after this patch it contains the bytes
remaining to the target capacity.

I'll send a v4 shortly.
