[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] fs: fat: dynamically allocate memory for temporary buffer

[tien.fong.chee at intel.com]

From: Tien Fong Chee <tien.fong.chee at intel.com>

Drop the statically allocated get_contents_vfatname_block and
dynamically allocate a buffer only if required. This saves
64KiB of memory.

- Removed the change for debug message.
- Set allocation based on actual required size instead of default max
