fat: use pointer to simple type in put_user()

Browse Source 
The put_user(val,ptr) macro wants a pointer to a simple type, but in
fat_ioctl_filldir() the d_name field references an "array of chars".  Be
more accurate and explicitly give the pointer to the first character of
the d_name[] array.

I noticed that issue while trying to optimize the parisc put_user()
macro and used an intermediate variable to store the pointer.  In that
case I got this error:

  In file included from include/linux/uaccess.h:11,
                   from include/linux/compat.h:17,
                   from fs/fat/dir.c:18:

Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> suggested to use

   __typeof__(&*(ptr)) __ptr = ptr;

instead.  This works, but nevertheless it's probably reasonable to fix
the original caller too.
