[PATCH 5.4.y] jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

[PATCH 5.4.y] jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

[Jeongjun Park]

commit af98b0157adf6504fade79b3e6cb260c4ff68e37 upstream.

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:

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata / jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata

value changed: 0x00000000 -> 0x00000001
==================================================================

This issue is caused by missing data-race annotation for jh->b_modified.
Therefore, the missing annotation needs to be added.
