Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Squashfs: add additional inode sanity checking

Add an additional sanity check when reading regular file inodes.

A regular file if the file size is an exact multiple of the filesystem
block size cannot have a fragment.  This is because by definition a
fragment block stores tailends which are not a whole block in size.
