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
