jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit code
In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.
This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).
