Theodore Ts'o e447183180 jbd2: call __jbd2_log_start_commit with j_state_lock write locked
On an SMP ARM system running ext4, I've received a report that the
first J_ASSERT in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction has been triggering:

	J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);

While investigating possible causes for this problem, I noticed that
__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request.  Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.
