This isn't validating s_log_block_size until after it's already been used in a
shift, which means the code can have undefined behavior (shift by a value too
large).  Would it make sense to do something like the following instead?
Similarly for the cluster size case.

        blocksize =                                                              
                BLOCK_SIZE << min_t(u32, le32_to_cpu(es->s_log_block_size), 20); 
        if (blocksize < EXT4_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE ||                                   
            blocksize > EXT4_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE) {                                   
                ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR,                                           
                        "Unsupported filesystem blocksize %d (%u bits)",         
                         blocksize, le32_to_cpu(es->s_log_block_size));          
                goto failed_mount;                                               
        }
