[PATCH] befs: return BEFS_ERR if validation of ag_shift fails

[Salah Triki]

ag_shift is used by blockno2iaddr() to get allocation group number
from block. If ag_shift is inconsistent with block_per_ag, an out of
bounds allocation group may occur [1]. So add return BEFS_ERR and update
comment and error message to reflect this change.
