If the very first allocation has a length of 0, the free_cluster_index
is still 0 after the for loop, which means that subtracting one from it
will underflow and signal an invalid range of clusters by returning
-EFBIG. However, there is no such range, as its length is 0.

Fix this by preventing underflows on free_cluster_index during the
check.

Heh, I wondered about this when I reviewed that other patch, and came to
the conclusion that it probably doesn't happen. Did you find a case
where it does happen in fact?

Anyway, this can't hurt:

Yes, deleting the last internal snapshot results in a 0-byte allocation 
for the new (empty) snapshot table. If this is the first allocation 
after an image has been opened (which is the case for qemu-img snapshot 
-d), you'll receive the “File too big” error message (which confused me 
quite a bit at first, as I wasn't specifically testing this series).
