I agree to cache it in sbi after the first read.

As Yuezhang pointed out, You need to consider the case where there
is no volume label entry. Some mkfs implementations, though not
Windows, don't create a volume entry. So, if FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL
doesn't find a volume label entry, it should either look for an empty entry,
or, if that's not available, allocate a cluster to get a entry.
Thanks for your work!
