jbd,jbd2: fix oops in jbd2_journal_put_journal_head()
Commit ae4647fb (jbd2: reduce journal_head size) introduced a
regression where we occasionally hit panic in
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() because of wrong b_jcount. The bug is
caused by gcc making 64-bit access to 32-bit bitfield and thus
clobbering b_jcount.
At least for now, those 8 bytes saved in struct journal_head are not
worth the trouble with gcc bitfield handling so revert that part of
the patch.
