Subject: [PATCH] fs/fat: don't error when mtime is 0

In the wild, we occasionally see valid ESPs where some file modification times
are 0.  For instance:

This causes grub-probe failure, which in turn causes grub-mkconfig
failure.  They are valid filesystems that appear intact, and the Linux
FAT stack is able to mount and manipulate them without complaint.

The check for mtime of 0 has been present since
20def1a3c3952982395cd7c3ea7e78638527962b ("fat: support file
modification times").
