fs/fat/: add support for DOS 1.x formatted volumes
Add structure for parsed BPB information, struct fat_bios_param_block, and move all of the deserialization and validation logic from fat_fill_super() into fat_read_bpb(). Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic. When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is set, fall back to fat_read_static_bpb(). fat_read_static_bpb() validates that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header. Then it fills in default BPB values from media size and a table.[0] Media size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also: [1]. Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.
