Oops, it is indeed broken there too.  msdosfs in RELENG_7 is in the state
that I thought RELENG_6 was in (missing critical MFCs only for nocluster*
in the options list and to fix panics related to the dirty flag), while
msdosfs in RELENG_6 is just too old to support clustering.

The broken nocluster* can be worked around by upgrading to a version of
mount_msdsosfs(8) that hasn't been broken by using nmount(2).
mount_msdsosfs(8) from RELENG_5 should work.
