fat: fat16 support maximum 4GB file/vol size as WinXP or 7.
FAT16 support maximum 4GB vol/file size with 64KB cluster size. Win NT/XP/7 increased the maximum cluster size to 64KB, and file/vol size increased 4GB also. Although increasing, the file size of linux FAT is still limited at 2GB. I found that it is limited by sb->maxbytes(0x7fffffff) when partition is formatted by FAT16. sb->s_maxbytes in fill_super should be set to 0xffffffff like fat32.
