bfs: fix sanity checks for empty files
Mount fails if file system image has empty files because of sanity check
while reading superblock. For empty files disk offset to end of file
(i_eoffset) is cpu_to_le32(-1). Sanity check comparison, which compares
disk offset with file system size isn't valid for this value and hence
is ignored with this patch.
Steps to reproduce:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=bfs-image count=204800
$ mkfs.bfs bfs-image
$ mkdir bfs-mount-point
$ sudo mount -t bfs -o loop bfs-image bfs-mount-point/
$ cd bfs-mount-point/
$ sudo touch a
$ cd ..
$ sudo umount bfs-mount-point/
$ sudo mount -t bfs -o loop bfs-image bfs-mount-point/
mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock
$ dmesg
[25526.689580] BFS-fs: bfs_fill_super(): Inode 0x00000003 corrupted

"If you had created the filesystem with the proper mkfs under SCO
UnixWare 7 you (probably) wouldn't encounter this issue. But since
commercial Unix-es are now part of history and the only proper way is
the Linux mkfs.bfs utility, your patch is fine"
