[U-Boot] [PATCH please test] fs/fat: reduce stack usage for SPL

It seems like stack usage is a problem for SPL builds. So move itrblock off the stack.
Please test this and see if it helps w/ current issues with SPL builds. Long term, I'm not sure if it is better to do this conditional on SPL builds, or move to malloc()? At any rate, if this fixes SPL builds it should be a perfectly ok short term solution.

Note that malloc would also be fine as we already have a dependency on malloc, that's just not (but should be!) expressed in Kconfig, for FAT support already. Thanks!

This fixed the problem on the am3517-evm. Thank you,

We have limited stack in SPL builds. Drop itrblock and move to malloc/free of itr to move this off of the stack. As part of this fix a double-free issue in fat_size().

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
