ext4: Correct block number handling, empty block vs. error code

read_allocated block may return block number 0, which is just an indicator
a chunk of the file is not backed by a block, i.e. it is sparse.

During file deletions, just continue with the next logical block, for other
operations treat blocknumber <= 0 as an error.

For writes, blocknumber 0 should never happen, as U-Boot always allocates
blocks for the whole file.  Reading already handles this correctly, i.e. the
read buffer is 0-fillled.

Not treating block 0 as sparse block leads to FS corruption, e.g.
	./sandbox/u-boot -c 'host bind 0 ./sandbox/test/fs/3GB.ext4.img ;
		ext4write host 0 0 /2.5GB.file 1 '
The 2.5GB.file from the fs test is actually a sparse file.
