[PATCH] udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inode

[PATCH] udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inode

[Jan Kara]

Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required
by the standard but a few blocks earlier (or the number of recorded blocks
is wrong). So look for the VAT inode a bit before the end of the media.

 I'm sending the patch for review in case someone is interested. I'm planning
to merge this fix with Linus soon...
