The check whether size is zero was done after if size <= SMALL_FILE_SIZE, as result, zero size case was never triggered. Instead zero length file was treated as any other small file. This did not caused any problem, but if we have a special case for size equal to zero, it is better to make it work and avoid redundant malloc().
