minix_check_superblock() uses minix_blocks_needed() to verify that the
on-disk imap and zmap block counts are large enough for the advertised
inode and zone counts.

The helper currently performs DIV_ROUND_UP() in unsigned int arithmetic.
A Minix v3 image can set s_ninodes or s_zones near UINT_MAX so the
addition inside DIV_ROUND_UP() wraps to zero. That makes a zero imap/zmap
block count look valid, after which minix_fill_super() can dereference
s_imap[0] or s_zmap[0] even though no bitmap buffers were allocated.

Impact: mounting a crafted Minix v3 image whose s_ninodes or s_zones is
near UINT_MAX makes minix_check_superblock() accept a zero bitmap-block
count and minix_fill_super() dereference s_imap[0]/s_zmap[0], panicking
the kernel.

The divisor is the bitmap capacity in bits, blocksize * 8, which is
always a power of two: minix_fill_super() obtains the block size through
sb_set_blocksize(), and blk_validate_block_size() rejects any size that
is not a power of two. Use DIV_ROUND_UP_POW2(), which divides before
adding the round-up term and so cannot overflow for a power-of-two
divisor.
