Put it in drivers/staging/sdfat/.

But really we want someone from Samsung to say that they will treat
the staging version as upstream.  It doesn't work when people apply
fixes to their version and a year later back port the fixes into
staging.  The staging tree is going to have tons and tons of white space
fixes so backports are a pain.  All development needs to be upstream
first where the staging driver is upstream.  Otherwise we should just
wait for Samsung to get it read to be merged in fs/ and not through the
staging tree.
