fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directory
FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO
of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only
applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by
Explorer.

This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as
read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode
is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).
