The complete functionality is broken down into smaller subsets.

- remove unneeded condition in fat_bmap.
- use mmu_private instead of fclus in fat_fallocate.
- make function mark buffer new for block in fallocated region.
- use flags for bmap.
- use mmu_private instead of i_size in direct_IO.
- use flags and remove i_mutex in bmap.
- update vfat documentation.

v2:
- remove a stary unlock(from Dan Carpenter)
- check ->mmu_private and ->i_disksize to truncate uninitialized data.
