In ext4_write_inode it has a dump_stack() in the case where
ext4_journal_current_handle() is non-NULL.
This is a bug, because later on it calls ext4_force_commit(), which
would end up blocking on the journal commit to finish, which is
blocked waiting on the journal handle held by the selfsame thread that
started the journal commit in the first place.
