jfs_fill_super() does not check the return value of sb_set_blocksize().
If the block device's logical block size exceeds PAGE_SIZE,
sb_set_blocksize() fails and returns 0, but jfs_fill_super() continues
regardless. Subsequent sb_bread() calls then trigger a BUG() in
folio_alloc_buffers() because the block size is incompatible with the
folio size.
Fix by checking the return value of sb_set_blocksize() and failing the
mount with -EINVAL if it returns 0.

Thank you for the fix though!
