The first problem I see is that statfs() isn't POSIX. It is a linux-specific
implementation inspired by 4.4BSD. The equivalent system call in POSIX would
be statvfs():

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/statvfs.html

And even there, no details are provided about what f_bsize should contain,
apart from:

"It is unspecified whether all members of the statvfs structure have
 meaningful values on all file systems."

A filesystem isn't necessarily backed by a block device, so I guess it
is legal to get a zero block size and we should definitely cope with it.

This fix looks like the only sensible thing to do.

Thanks for the Cc otherwise I would have certainly missed this one :)

I've pushed it to my 9p-fix branch and I'll send a pull request ASAP
in order to have this fixed in rc3.
