Attached is backport of the fix to 5.10-stable kernel (passed xfstests run
for ext4 with fast_commit enabled).

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: use ext4_journal_start/stop for fast commit
transactions

commit 2729cfdcfa1cc49bef5a90d046fa4a187fdfcc69 upstream.

This patch drops all calls to ext4_fc_start_update() and
ext4_fc_stop_update(). To ensure that there are no ongoing journal
updates during fast commit, we also make jbd2_fc_begin_commit() lock
journal for updates. This way we don't have to maintain two different
transaction start stop APIs for fast commit and full commit. This
patch doesn't remove the functions altogether since in future we want
to have inode level locking for fast commits.
