We need to tell caller whether the GetTime() succeeds or fails.

EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The time could not be retrieved due to a hardware error.

valid time

Why not to let gRT->GetTime() itself to return the time(1980.1.1) if it fails 
to get the real time? If we update the code in FatPkg, other places that call 
gRT->GetTime() may also need to be updated.

Thanks.

valid time

Dear FatPkg maintainers,

Please find this patch that makes FatGetCurrentFatTime() always return a valid 
time.
Without this patch if gRT->GetTime fails to return the time then some 
operations on the filesystem could fail.
