4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi at mail.parknet.co.jp>

commit 928a477102c4fc6739883415b66987207e3502f4 upstream.

For the root directory, .  and ..  are faked (using dir_emit_dots()) and
ctx->pos is reset from 2 to 0.

A corrupted root directory could cause fat_get_entry() to fail, but
->iterate() (fat_readdir()) reports progress to the VFS (with ctx->pos
rewound to 0), so any following calls to ->iterate() continue to return
the same entries again and again.

The result is that userspace will never see the end of the directory,
causing e.g.  'ls' to hang in a getdents() loop.
