Hi,

this breaks creation of sparse files (e.g. by tar) on i586 (in 5.7).

tar does this:
> openat(4, "sparsefile", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0600) = 5
> _llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_SET)      = 0

> _llseek(5, 8589935104, [8589935104], SEEK_SET) = 0

It should result in a sparsefile of size 8589935104, but after this
commit, it's only 512 bytes.

Feed it through (on i586):
mkdir directory; base64 -d | tar JxvC directory/

and check the size of directory/sparsefile.

Reverting the commit on the top of 5.7 doesn't help. I suppose it
doesn't take the original path in the code there...

Any ideas?
