ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno
Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.
Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of
this bug.
