There's no need for calling xfs_bmap_adjacent_valid() here -
we know that ap->blkno is valid because the
bounds checking has already been done by xfs_bmap_adjacent().

Actually, for another patch, the bounds checking in
xfs_bmap_adjacent_valid() is incorrect. What happens if the last AG
is a runt? i.e. it open codes xfs_verify_fsbno() and gets it wrong.
