[PATCH v2] uimage: fix: add can_lseek_backward and use in uimage_open

Since commit ce0cc7fe we support forward seek on tftpfs. This feature
breaks the condition to check rather we open an uimage over tftp. Since
backward seeking is the problem here, we add the function
can_lseek_backward and check for it instead of the simple lseek.

v1 -> v2: - added can_lseek_backward
          - also fixed check in uimagefs
          - aligned comments to check
