lib-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT16 file systems
Resizing FAT16 file system crashes in libparted/fs/r/fat/resize.c create_resize_context() because it was dereferencing NULL pointer fs_info->info_sector to copy the info_sector. Only FAT32 file systems have info_sector populated by fat_open() -> fat_info_sector_read(). FAT12 and FAT16 file systems don't have an info_sector so pointer fs_info->info_sector remains assigned NULL from fat_alloc(). When resizing a FAT file system create_resize_context() was always dereferencing fs_info->info_sector to memory copy the info_sector, hence it crashed for FAT12 and FAT16. Make create_resize_context() only copy the info_sector for FAT32 file systems. Reported by Christian Hesse in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735669
