fs: ext4: fix writing zero-length files


ext4fs_allocate_blocks() always allocates at least one block for a file.
If the file size is zero, this causes total_remaining_blocks to
underflow, which then causes an apparent hang while 2^32 blocks are
allocated.

To solve this, check that total_remaining_blocks is non-zero as part of
the loop condition (i.e. before each loop) rather than at the end of
the loop.
