Actually this is fixed by this commit:

block: Exploit BDRV_BLOCK_EOF for larger zero blocks
When we have a BDS with unallocated clusters, but asking the status
of its underlying bs->file or backing layer encounters an end-of-file
condition, we know that the rest of the unallocated area will read as
zeroes. However, pre-patch, this required two separate calls to
bdrv_get_block_status(), as the first call stops at the point where
the underlying file ends. Thanks to BDRV_BLOCK_EOF, we can now widen
the results of the primary status if the secondary status already
includes BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO.
In turn, this fixes a TODO mentioned in iotest 154, where we can now
see that all sectors in a partial cluster at the end of a file read
as zero when coupling the shorter backing file's status along with our
knowledge that the remaining sectors came from an unallocated cluster.
Also, note that the loop in bdrv_co_get_block_status_above() had an
inefficent exit: in cases where the active layer sets BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO
but does NOT set BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED (namely, where we know we read
zeroes merely because our unallocated clusters lie beyond the backing
file's shorter length), we still ended up probing the backing layer
even though we already had a good answer.
Which went into qemu 2.10.
However, backporting it to 2.8 requires a bit more of background,
i/o subsystem has been modified significantly between 2.8 and 2.10.
Thanks,
