Subject: FAT: Operating on broken FAT FS causes the write syscall to return
 negative number not equal to -1

How to reproduce:
1) Compile v4.18-rc4 kernel with the attached config
1) Unpack the attached FS image (128 Mb) and mount it as vfat to /mnt
2) Compile and run vfat-bug.c

What is expected:
`write` returns either -1 or small positive number.

What happens:
The -13619152 aka 0xffffffffff303030 is returned.


Best regards,
Anatoly
