it seem to be normal that preallocation option don't make a difference
here. qemu-img measure always compute size of all metadatas.  (only
cluster_size && l2_extended change the result)


I don't understand why disabling preallocation could help here (until
it's bugged), because the same amount of metadatas need to be allocated
later on the fly  with disabled preallocation.
