tar: optimize -c --sparse when file is entirely sparse

* src/sparse.c (sparse_scan_file): If the file is entirely sparse,
that is, if ST_NBLOCKS is zero, don't bother scanning for nonzero
blocks.  Idea by Kit Westneat, communicated by Bernd Schubert in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-08/msg00038.html>.
Also, omit unnecessary lseek at start of file.
