Sometimes consumers of Seek() might use it for purposes other than chaging the current read/write offset. For example, using whence = io.SeekCurrent to get the current seek position. However, minio-go invalidates the underlying HTTP stream unconditionally when Seek() is called, resulting in massive performance degradation in these scenarios.
This commit avoids these issues by only reopening the stream if the seek position is actually changed.
t2bot/matrix-media-repo#516 is an example of such a performance issue resolved by this patch.
