32 bit values not written correctly in FAT f/s data

Description

In cpukit/libfs/src/dosfs/fat.h the macro FAT_SET_VAL32 (line 126) has an incorrect "&&" when just "&" is intended it seems. This results in an incorrect encoding in the f/s of 32-bit values such as "number of sectors in the filesystem." For my disk the correct value was 0x0001B708 (correctly read from the MBR sector 0) but the encoded value was 0x10001 (put in FAT boot record sector 63 when formatted). This resulted in the disk appearing 1/2 full in linux gparted when it only contained a single small file copied to it in rtems. Also, linux df showed an incorrect number of 1k blocks available. Note: my "disk" is an MMC card formatted to FAT16.
