Subject: [PATCH 4.4 35/36] fat: fix using uninitialized fields of fat_inode/fsinfo_inode

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@...l.parknet.co.jp>

commit c0d0e351285161a515396b7b1ee53ec9ffd97e3c upstream.

Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses
MSDOS_I(inode)->mmu_private at fat_evict_inode().  However,
fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize
MSDOS_I(inode) properly.

With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry
in FAT area.
