[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: call ocfs2_abort when journal abort

[Ryan Ding <ryan.ding@oracle.com>]

orabug: 22293201

journal can not recover from abort state, so we should take following action to
prevent file system from corruption:

1. change to readonly filesystem when local mount. We can not afford further
   write, so change to RO state is reasonable.

2. panic when cluster mount. Because we can not release lock resource in this
   state, other node will hung when it require a lock owned by this node. So
   panic and remaster is a reasonable choise.

ocfs2_abort() will do all the above work.
