To read the last sector that is not aligned to sector boundary, current
code for growable backends, since commit 893a8f6 "block: Produce zeros
when protocols reading beyond end of file", drops the data and directly
returns zeroes. That is incorrect.

I merged this patch because I hit the problem myself today.  And my code
includes a test case which will be posted soon.

So don't worry about writing a test case for this patch.  I still don't
fully understand the vmdk patch and would like a test case for it.

Thanks, applied to my block tree:
