If e2fsprogs tools (mke2fs, e2fsck) is run on regular file instead of on block device, we can use punch hole instead of regular discard command which would not work on regular file anyway. This gives us several advantages. First of all when e2fsck is run with '-E discard' parameter it will punch out all ununsed space from the image, hence trimming down the file system image. And secondly, when creating an file system on regular file (with '-E discard' which is default), we can use punch hole to clear the file content, hence we can skip inode table initialization, because reads from sparse area returns zeros. This will result in faster file system creation (without the need to specify lazy_itable_init) and smaller images. This commit also fixes some tests that would fail due to mke2fs showing discard progress, hence the output would differ.

README
This is the new version (1.41.14) of the second extended file system management programs. From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix bugs and to make the utilities more robust. You can always find information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page, which is: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing e2fsprogs. Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files are supplied as well. In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu. See the e2fsck man page for suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug reports for these programs.
