Kirk McKusick bc218d8920 Two bug fixes to UFS/FFS superblock integrity checks when reading a superblock.
Two bugs have been reported with the UFS/FFS superblock integrity
checks that were added in commit 076002f24d.

The code checked that fs_sblockactualloc was properly set to the
location of the superblock. The fs_sblockactualloc field was an
addition to the superblock in commit dffce2150e on Jan 26 2018
and used a field that was zero in filesystems created before it
was added. The integrity check had to be expanded to accept the
fs_sblockactualloc field being zero so as not to reject filesystems
created before Jan 26 2018.

The integrity check set an upper bound on the value of fs_maxcontig
based on the maximum transfer size supported by the kernel. It
required that fs->fs_maxcontig <= maxphys / fs->fs_bsize. The kernel
variable maxphys defines the maximum transfer size permitted by the
controllers and/or buffering. The fs_maxcontig parameter controls the
maximum number of blocks that the filesystem will read or write in
a single transfer. It is calculated when the filesystem is created
as maxphys / fs_bsize. The bug appeared in the loader because it
uses a maxphys of 128K even when running on a system that supports
larger values. If the filesystem was built on a system that supports
a larger maxphys (1M is typical) it will have configured fs_maxcontig
for that larger system so would fail the test when run with the smaller
maxphys used by the loader. So we bound the upper allowable limit
for fs_maxconfig to be able to at least work with a 1M maxphys on the
smallest block size filesystem: 1M / 4096 == 256. We then use the
limit for fs_maxcontig as fs_maxcontig <= MAX(256, maxphys / fs_bsize).
There is no harm in allowing the mounting of filesystems that make larger
than maxphys I/O requests because those (mostly 32-bit machines) can
(very slowly) handle I/O requests that exceed maxphys.

Thanks to everyone who helped sort out the problems and the fixes.
