Subject: sendfile: do not update file offset of non-lseek()able objects.
I tried to sendfile() a file which is larger than 4GB to a pipe (which is
the stdout of Apache's CGI program), and noticed that sendfile() fails
with EFBIG after 2GB is copied to stdout pipe. This is because sendfile()
is updating file offset of the file descriptor of the pipe.
sendfile() should not update file offset if the file descriptor refers to
an non-lseek()able object.
