Subject: [PATCH] fat: add a check to fat_add_new_entries

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Clang static analysis reports a possible null pointer dereference

fs/fat/dir.c:1255:9: warning: Dereference of undefined pointer value [core.NullDereference]
        memset(bhs[n]->b_data + copy, 0, sb->s_blocksize - copy);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is because setting of bhs[n] depends on the inner loop executing.

So add a check that the inner loop will be executed.
