jffs2: Fix memory corruption in jffs2_read_inode_range()

In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1f925399e0d81ca3f7394a44a6dafa12c
("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a
side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past
the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines
(e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if
somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block).

JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read
pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_
valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any
holes with the following memset:

  memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset);

When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is
actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in:

  memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>);

Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing
random oopses, like this:

This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with
JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug
above also broke the truncation).
