- Fix ftruncate failure when allocating non-contiguous clusters.
exfat: fix appending discontinuous clusters to empty file
Eric Hong found that when using ftruncate to expand an empty file,
exfat_ent_set() will fail if discontinuous clusters are allocated.
The reason is that the empty file does not have a cluster chain,
but exfat_ent_set() attempts to append the newly allocated cluster
to the cluster chain. In addition, exfat_find_last_cluster() only
supports finding the last cluster in a non-empty file.
So this commit adds a check whether the file is empty. If the file
is empty, exfat_find_last_cluster() and exfat_ent_set() are no longer
called as they do not need to be called.
