fs/befs/linuxvfs.c: check superblock before dump operation
befs_dump_super_block was called between befs_load_sb and befs_check_sb. It has been reported to crash (5/900) with null block testing. This patch loads, checks and only dump superblock if it's a valid one then brelse bh. (befs_dump_super_block uses disk_sb (bh->b_data) so it seems we need to call it before brelse(bh) but I don't know why befs_check_sb was called after brelse. Another thing I don't understand is why this problem appears now).
