On a multi-disk machine, because jbd2 debugging switch is global, this
confuses the logs of multiple disks. It is not easy to distinguish the
logs of each disk and the amount of generated logs is very large. Maybe
a separate debugging switch for each disk would be better, so that we
can easily distinguish the logs of a certain disk. 

We can enable jbd2 debugging of a device in the following ways:
echo X > /proc/fs/jbd2/sdX/jbd2_debug

But there is a small disadvantage here. Because the debugging switch is
placed in the journal_t object, the log before the object is initialized
will be lost. However, usually this will not have much impact on
debugging.

  jbd2: update the arguments of jbd_debug()
  ext4: update the arguments of jbd_debug()
