Segfault in sftpfs VFS when trying to view a file

Description

MC terminates with a segfault when user tries to view a file (with F3) on a remote server via SFTPFS. This is caused by using data from already free()-d memory in /src/vfs/sftpfs/file.c. sftpfs_lseek() accesses a memory block, which is previously deallocated by sftpfs_reopen().

Here's the patch:
