A corrupted JFS filesystem image can cause a state where the block
allocation map (bmap) and the dmap pages are out of sync. Specifically,
dbAllocNear() and dbAllocDmapLev() derive the returned block number from
on-disk dp->start, which can cause duplicate allocation if dp->start does
not match the selected dmap boundary. In this scenario, the allocator
returns a block number that is already in use (e.g., as an inode table
block or metadata) while marking a completely different block as allocated.
When a thread later attempts to lock this duplicate block (for example,
during a directory btree split), txLock() detects a metapage conflict
because the block is already locked for another purpose, triggering a
kernel BUG:

kernel BUG at fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c:836!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:txLock+0x1cc3/0x1d10 fs/jfs/jfs_txnmgr.c:836
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 dtSplitRoot+0x38d/0x18a0 fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:1924
 dtSplitUp fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:990 [inline]
 dtInsert+0xeb2/0x5890 fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:868
 jfs_create+0x730/0xae0 fs/jfs/namei.c:138
...

Validation of dp->start against the expected dmap boundary in dbAlloc() and
the single-dmap path of dbAllocCtl() prevents inconsistent allocation.
Rejecting a mismatched start with -EIO prevents duplicate allocations
before txLock() is reached. Additionally, preserve the existing independent
geometry check (dp->tree.budmin < 0) in dbAllocCtl(). Both a mismatched
start and a negative budmin will now fail with -EIO early, preventing
corrupted dmap structures from causing duplicate allocations and subsequent
transaction lock crashes.
