[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4] fs: fat: flush a directory cluster properly

When a long name directory entry is created, multiple directory entries
may be occupied across a directory cluster boundary. Since only one
directory cluster is cached in a directory iterator, a first cluster must
be written back to device before switching over a second cluster.

Without this patch, some added files may be lost even if you don't see
any failures on write operation.
