When possible, infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block from block device geometry (for floppies and floppy images). Update in-memory only. We only perform this update when the entire BPB region is zeroed, like produced by DOS 1.x-era FORMAT (and other OEM variations on DOS).
Fixes kernel.org bug #42617. BPB default values are inferred from media size and a table.[0] Media size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also [1].
