Use the whole file size if @size is not specified which is useful

This code needs to build on other platforms too. e.g. using mingw32:

Err... You did it on Windows? It's surprised that the file is only built
on Linux:
common-obj-$(CONFIG_LINUX) += hostmem-file.o

How it can happen...

This code seems to duplicate what block/raw-posix.c:raw_getlength() does
(except for the BLKGETSIZE64 part). Have you considered using the same
code for both?

We can probably move all the raw-posix.c raw_getlength(BlockDriverState
*bs) code to fd_getlength(int fd) functions (on osdep.c?), and just
implement raw-posix.c:raw_getlength(s) as fd_getlength(s->fd).


Actually, Paolo has the same suggestion before... but

I do not know if it's really worth doing it. :(
