nilfs2: clean up sketch file
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data. It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete. The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.
This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.
