[PATCH] jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

[Jeongjun Park <aha310510@gmail.com>]

Since handle->h_transaction may be a NULL pointer, so we should change it
to call is_handle_aborted(handle) first before dereferencing it.

And the following data-race was reported in my fuzzer:

==================================================================

According to this crash report, there is a read/write data-race in
jh->b_modified.

This is because the b_state_lock is locked too late.

For some reason, jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() has been written in a way
that it does not lock b_state_lock before checking jh->b_transaction.

However, This makes the code that checks jh->b_transaction messy and
causes a data-race in jh->b_* variables. Since locking b_state_lock
earlier is not enough to significantly affect performance and most of the
functions defined in transaction.c lock b_state_lock before
reading/writing jh->b_*.

Thereforce, I think it would be appropriate to modify 
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to lock b_state_lock earlier as well.
