Can we simply set i_pos = MSDOS_ROOT_INO in fat_read_root()? If so, I
think we can avoid this check.

Do we need to use __packed? Unnecessary __packed can generate slower
code for alignment check on arch has unaligned fault.

This check strange. "parent && len == FAT_FID_SIZE_WITHOUT_PARENT" will
overwrite over limit of fh size?
