[BUG] jfs: WARNING in dbAdjTree from dbJoin

Hi,
I am reporting that WARNING in dbJoin appears to remain reproducible with a
migrated syzkaller reproducer on Linux 7.2-rc3. The tested HEAD commit is
a13c140cc289c0b7b3770bce5b3ad42ab35074aa.
The reproducer mounts a crafted JFS image and frees blocks while truncating
and evicting an inode through the lazy-commit path.
dbJoin() calls dbAdjTree() with inconsistent dmap tree state, triggering the
same warning path represented in the source and target reports.
This looks like malformed buddy-tree metadata is not rejected before
dbJoin() attempts to merge and adjust the dmap tree.
