Something screwed up there, and you haven't put your own SOB on
this.

This function returns a uint32_t, same type as
mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize. The comparision should use uint32_t casts,
not unsigned long.

ALso, this bears no resemblence to the original patch I wrote back in
2018. Please remove my SOB from it - you can state that "this change
is based on a patch originally from Dave Chinner" to credit the
history of it, but it's certainly not the patch I wrote 6 years ago
and so my SOB does not belong on it.

-Dave.
