Subject: [PATCH] FAT: DIO-write fallback to normal buffered

[RESEND: forget to add linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org]

If the DIO write on FAT is expanding the size, it will be fail by -EINVAL,
because FAT can't handle it now.

This patch fallback it to the normal buffered-write and would return
success.
