Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] fat: introduce special inode for managing the FSINFO block

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@...ux.intel.com>

This patch is just a preparation for further changes. It introduces a special
inode ('fsinfo_inode') in FAT file-system which we'll later use for managing
the FSINFO block. Note, this there is already one special inode ('fat_inode')
which is used for managing the FAT tables.

Introduce new 'MSDOS_FSINFO_INO' constant for this special inode. It is safe to
do because FAT file-system does not store inode numbers on the media but
generates them run-time.

I've also cleaned up the comment to existing 'MSDOS_ROOT_INO' constant, while
on it.
