fat_fill_inode() just set i_disksize to i_size. So, it is not aligned by
cluster size or block size.

E.g. ->mmu_private = 500. Then, cont_write_begin() can set ->mmu_private
to 512 on some case. In this case, fat_get_block() will not be called,
because no new allocation.

If this is true, it would be possible to have ->mmu_private == 512 and
->i_disksize == 500. 

I'm missing something?

Thanks.
