[PATCH v2] fat: Use pointer to simple type in put_user()

[Helge Deller]

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:

Andreas Schwab <schwab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> suggested to use
   __typeof__(&*(ptr)) __ptr = ptr;
instead. This works, but nevertheless it's probably reasonable to
fix the original caller too.
