From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>

commit 58e08e8d83ab03a1ca25d53420bd0b87f2dfe458 upstream.

Log flush operations (gfs2_log_flush()) can target a specific transaction.
But if the function encounters errors (e.g. io errors) and withdraws,
the transaction was only freed it if was queued to one of the ail lists.
If the withdraw occurred before the transaction was queued to the ail1
list, function ail_drain never freed it. The result was:

BUG gfs2_trans: Objects remaining in gfs2_trans on __kmem_cache_shutdown()

This patch makes log_flush() add the targeted transaction to the ail1
list so that function ail_drain() will find and free it properly.
