[PATCH 3.19-rc] btrfs: sync ioctl, handle errors after transaction start

[David Sterba]

The version merged to 3.19 did not handle errors from start_trancaction
and could pass an invalid pointer to commit_transaction.

Fixes: 6b5fe46dfa52441f ("btrfs: do commit in sync_fs if there are pending changes")
