jbd: Fix oops in journal_remove_journal_head()
journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head
returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race:
TASK1 TASK2
journal_commit_transaction()
...
processing t_forget list
__journal_refile_buffer(jh);
if (!jh->b_transaction) {
jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
journal_try_to_free_buffers()
journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
__journal_try_to_free_buffer()
journal_put_journal_head(jh)
journal_remove_journal_head(bh);
journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not
part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing
so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after
journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I
didn't see this happen in reality).
Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference
(in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via
journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when
b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]journal_unfile_buffer(), and __journal_remove_checkpoint() can free
journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be
careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as
well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.
