I don't know what's the correct way? If you're right. it's better to round-up.
If cluster-size is 32KiB and start sector is in the middle of cluster,
then which is better. round-down or round-up?

will fix it.

I borrowed it from "fat_count_free_clusters()". anyway fill fix it.

I refereed it from ext4. it checked at ext4 codes.

user program don't know the filesystem internals. The same program is
used for ext4 and fat. so it should be handled at filesystem.

If the start is middle and len is the whole disk size, then check the
all clusters.

I'm not sure it's needed?
I don't see other filesystem does.
