Subject: [PATCH 4.9 69/88] fat: fix uninit-memory access for partial initialized inode

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

commit bc87302a093f0eab45cd4e250c2021299f712ec6 upstream.

When get an error in the middle of reading an inode, some fields in the
inode might be still not initialized.  And then the evict_inode path may
access those fields via iput().

To fix, this makes sure that inode fields are initialized.
