[PATCH] udf: Fix loading of VAT inode when drive wrongly reports number of recorded blocks

[Jan Kara]

VAT inode is located in the last block recorded block of the medium. When the
drive errorneously reports number of recorded blocks, we failed to load the VAT
inode and thus mount the medium. This patch makes kernel try to read VAT inode
from the last block of the device if it is different from the last recorded
block.
