Carmeli Tamir b553337a57 fat: remove FAT_FIRST_ENT macro
The comment edited in this patch was the only reference to the
FAT_FIRST_ENT macro, which is not used anymore.  Moreover, the commented
line of code does not compile with the current code.

Since the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro checks the FAT variant in a way that the
patch series changes, I removed it, and instead wrote a clear
explanation of what was checked.

I verified that the changed comment is correct according to Microsoft
FAT spec, search for "BPB_Media" in the following references:

1. Microsoft FAT specification 2005
(http://read.pudn.com/downloads77/ebook/294884/FAT32%20Spec%20%28SDA%20Contribution%29.pdf).
Search for 'volume label'.
2. Microsoft Extensible Firmware Initiative, FAT32 File System Specification
(https://staff.washington.edu/dittrich/misc/fatgen103.pdf).
Search for 'volume label'.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
