</TASK>

This happens when 'clear_inode()' makes an attempt to finalize an underlying

JFS inode of unknown type. According to JFS layout description from

https://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfslayout.pdf, inode types from 5 to

15 are reserved for future extensions and should not be encountered on a valid

filesystem. So add an extra check for valid inode type in 'copy_from_dinode()'.
