Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: debug block device parameters before reading superblock
Author: kartikey406@...il.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

Debug patch to understand NULL pointer dereference in create_empty_buffers.
Print logical_block_size and mapping_min_folio_order to identify the correct
check needed.

NOT FOR MERGE - debug only.
