When emulating an nvme device on qemu with both logical_block_size and physical_block_size set to 8 KiB, but without format, a kernel panic was triggered during the early boot stage while attempting to mount a vfat filesystem.

The panic occurs as follows: 1. logical_block_size is 8KiB, causing {struct super_block *sb}->s_blocksize is initialized to 0. vfat_fill_super - fat_fill_super - sb_min_blocksize - sb_set_blocksize //return 0 when size is 8KiB. 2. __bread_gfp is called with size == 0, causing folio_alloc_buffers() to compute an offset equal to folio_size(folio), which triggers a BUG_ON. fat_fill_super - sb_bread - __bread_gfp // size == {struct super_block *sb}->s_blocksize == 0 - bdev_getblk - __getblk_slow - grow_buffers - grow_dev_folio - folio_alloc_buffers // size == 0 - folio_set_bh //offset == folio_size(folio) and panic
To fix this issue, add proper return value checks for sb_min_blocksize().

When sb_min_blocksize() returns 0 and the return value is not checked, it may lead to a situation where sb->s_blocksize is 0 when accessing the filesystem super block. After commit a64e5a596067bd ("bdev: add back PAGE_SIZE block size validation for sb_set_blocksize()"), this becomes more likely to happen when the block device’s logical_block_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE and the filesystem is unformatted. Add the __must_check attribute to ensure callers always check the return value.
