[PATCH 1/4] fat: allocate persistent inode numbers

[Namjae Jeon]

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

All the files on a FAT partition have an on-disk directory entry.
The location of these entries, i_pos, is unique and is constructed by the
fat_make_i_pos() function.We can use this as the inode number making it
peristent across remounts.
