commit 23e3d7f7061f8682c751c46512718f47580ad8f0 upstream.

we got issue as follows:
[ 72.796117] EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_journal_check_start:83: comm fallocate: Detected aborted journal

__journal_remove_journal_head
bh->b_private = NULL;
jh->b_bh = NULL;
jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(journal, jh);
bh = jh2bh(jh);
->bh is NULL, later will trigger null-ptr-deref
journal_free_journal_head(jh);

After commit 96f1e0974575, we no longer hold the j_state_lock while
iterating over the list of reserved handles in
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(). This potentially allows the
journal_head to be freed by journal_unmap_buffer while the commit
codepath is also trying to free the BJ_Reserved buffers. Keeping
j_state_lock held while trying extends hold time of the lock
minimally, and solves this issue.

Fixes: 96f1e0974575("jbd2: avoid long hold times of j_state_lock while committing a transaction")
