[PATCH] Fix setting empty label for FAT16 and FAT32 when formatting disk

Due to mkfs.fat bug https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues/54 option -n must contains valid non-empty label. Formatting disk to FAT file system without supplying label is possible, but option -n cannot be specified. Attached patch fix this problem.
