Prior to this patch, creating or even opening any innodb file in 10.2
would set a sparse flag on file. The file extension was done by setting
end of file, without writing zeros. This technique is fine, however
due to sparsedness, it created a hole at the end of the file, which
lead to much higher fragmentation subsequently.
The fix is only to use sparse flag for compressed tables, where holes
are actually wanted, but not for normal tables.
