  Something really strange must have happened in your system. Instructions
preceeding the faulting one look like (I've added some annotation):
  15:	f0 80 4b 01 40       	lock orb $0x40,0x1(%rbx)
	set_buffer_jbd(bh);
  1a:	4c 89 7b 40          	mov    %r15,0x40(%rbx)
	bh->b_private = jh;
  1e:	49 89 1f             	mov    %rbx,(%r15)
	jh->b_bh = bh;
  21:	f0 ff 43 60          	lock incl 0x60(%rbx)
	get_bh(bh);
  25:	4c 89 f8             	mov    %r15,%rax
  28:	45 31 ff             	xor    %r15d,%r15d
  2b:*	ff 40 08             	incl   0x8(%rax)     <-- trapping instruction
	jh->b_jcount++;

RAX at the moment of the fault is 0 (and also r15 from which we got the
value is 0). The relevant chunk of the function looks like:
        jbd_lock_bh_journal_head(bh);
        if (buffer_jbd(bh)) {
                jh = bh2jh(bh);
        } else {
                J_ASSERT_BH(bh,
                        (atomic_read(&bh->b_count) > 0) ||
                        (bh->b_page && bh->b_page->mapping));

                if (!new_jh) {
                        jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(bh);
                        goto repeat;
                }

                jh = new_jh;
                new_jh = NULL;          /* We consumed it */
                set_buffer_jbd(bh);
                bh->b_private = jh;
                jh->b_bh = bh;
                get_bh(bh);
                BUFFER_TRACE(bh, "added journal_head");
        }
        jh->b_jcount++;
        jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(bh);

So we apparently saw buffer_jbd(), went through jh = bh2jh(bh) and oopsed
on jh->b_jcount++. But I don't see how buffer_jbd() with bh->b_private == NULL
can happen - we set and clear both together under bh_journal_head() lock.
So either it was some random memory corruption or something really strange.
But I'm afraid that unless you are able to reproduce the problem, I'm
unable to debug this...
