blkcnt_t st_blocks Number of blocks allocated for this object.
This doesn't require that st_blocks must be nonzero if the file contains
nonzero data, any more that it requires that st_blocks must be nonzero
if the file contains zero data. In either case, metadata outside the
scope of st_blocks might contain enough information for the file system
to represent all the file's data.
