[GIT PULL 06/18 for v7.3] vfs fat

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This rejects names longer than NAME_MAX in msdos_format_name(). The VFS
only enforces PATH_MAX rather than the length of an individual
component. open() on such a path component reported success for a name
far longer than NAME_MAX.

/* Testing */

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
