jbd2: fix potential memory leak on transaction commit
There is potential memory leak of journal head in function
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. The problem is that JBD2 will not
reclaim the journal head of commit record if error occurs or journal
is abotred.
I use the following script to reproduce this issue, on a RHEL6
system. I found it very easy to reproduce with async commit enabled.
mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o journal_checksum,journal_async_commit
touch /mnt/xxx
echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state
sync
umount /mnt
rmmod ext4
rmmod jbd2
Removal of the jbd2 module will make slab complaining that
"cache `jbd2_journal_head': can't free all objects".
