Samuel Moelius 5108f47656 fat: reject BPB volumes whose data area starts beyond total sectors ...

fat_fill_super() subtracts sbi->data_start from the BPB total sector count
before computing the number of clusters.  A malformed image can declare a
total sector count smaller than data_start, causing the subtraction to
underflow and the mount code to derive a plausible cluster count from the
FAT length instead.

Reject such images before the subtraction.  In QEMU, a crafted FAT image
with total_sectors=2 and data_start=3 mounted successfully before the fix
and reading a file returned bytes stored past the BPB-declared end of the
volume.  With this change, the same image is rejected during mount.
