[LTP] [PATCH v2] bin/ftest02: Fix negative lseek offset expression.

[Steve Ellcey]

Cast the result of sizeof to (off_t) so that we have a signed value
before we negate it.  Otherwise we will get the wrong value in cases
where sizeof returns a 32 bit unsigned type and off_t is a 64 bit
signed type.  This problem shows up on x86_64 when compiling with
-mx32.

This fixes LTP issue #135.
