The on-disk cylinder group size becomes the fragment count used by
ufs_read_cylinder(). A size larger than one filesystem block makes that
count exceed UFS_MAXFRAG and drives buffer-head stores beyond the fixed
eight-entry array in struct ufs_cg_private_info.

Reject zero-sized cylinder groups and sizes larger than the validated
filesystem block size while reading the superblock. Since a filesystem
block contains at most UFS_MAXFRAG fragments, every later cylinder cache
count is then bounded by its buffer-head array.
