[PATCH] tools/mkimage: use lseek rather than fstat for file size for -l option

Use lseek rather than fstat for file size for list mode, so
mkimage -l /dev/mtdblockN works (stat returns st_size == 0 for devices).
Notice that you have to use /dev/mtdblockN and not /dev/mtdN, as the
latter doesn't support mmap.
