This happens when 'clearinode()' 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 'copyfrom_dinode()'.
