Yeah, I noticed this from my test runs last night as well.  It looks
like original patch was never tested with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

The other problem with this patch is that it initializes
es_stats_cache_hits and es_stats_cache_miesses too late.  They will
get used when the journal inode is loaded.  This is mostly harmless,
but it's also wrong.

I've dropped this patch from the ext4 git tree.
