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.

nice assert..

Function reads slightly worse for the wear now with all of the return
logic handled at various places within, but unifying it might be even
stranger, perhaps..

Let's see if I hate this more:

out:
bdrv_dec_in_flight(bs);
    bdrv_dec_in_flight(bs);
    if (ret >= 0 && sector_num + *pnum == total_sectors) {
        ret |= BDRV_BLOCK_EOF;
    }
early_out:
    if (file) {
        *file = local_file;
    }
    return ret;


and then earlier in the function, we can just:

if (total_sectors < 0) {
  ret = total_sectors;
  goto early_out;
}

ret = BDRV_BLOCK_EOF;
