Setting the B_INVALONERR flag before a synchronous write causes the buf
cache to forcibly invalidate contents if the write fails (BIO_ERROR).
This is intended to be used to allow layers above the buffer cache to make
more informed decisions about when discarding dirty buffers without
successful write is acceptable.
As a proof of concept, use in msdosfs to handle failures to mark the on-disk
'dirty' bit during rw mount or ro->rw update.
Extending this to other filesystems is left as future work.

There is no need to duplicate this file when it can be trivially
shared (just exposing sections previously under #ifdef _KERNEL).

Add FAT support to makefs by copying some files from sys/fs/msdosfs/ and
updating others with changes from NetBSD.
The six files copied from sys/fs/msdosfs at r348251 and modified are:
denode.h direntry.h fat.h msdosfs_fat.c msdosfs_lookup.c msdosfsmount.h
I would prefer to avoid the duplication, but reluctance to doing so was
expressed in a previous review (D11197); for now copy the files and
revisit in the future.
