This leaks a reference on an xtree page.  I'd also like to mark the
superblock dirty here, so that fsck.jfs will fix the file system on the
next boot.  jfs_error does this as well as the requested error action.
The default is to remount read-only.

Do you want to retry your fsfuzzer testing with this patch?  I'm going
to take a look at the other calls to BT_PUSH in xtTruncate and
xtTruncate_pmap, but I'm too busy now, so I'll send you what I have so
far (untested).
