Thanks for objection, you are right, my patch seems to be not correct
way as it doesn't run that part and could break something. However - for
many cases (when file_size && offset < OFF_T_MAX and file seekable)
buffer allocation is not required in skip(), so it could be handled
somehow for those cases even without buffer allocation...
