EXTLINUX: Add sanity check for XFS filesystems
Syslinux won't work on >4 KiB filesystem block sizes since there is no left space in MBR to determine where to install Syslinux bootsector. If one is trying to install Syslinux in a XFS partition with a filesystem block size different of 4 KiB, a proper error will be returned to the user informing that the current filesystem block size isn't supported by Syslinux.
