Actually I was able to reproduce these messages with data=journal mode as well when running bash_shared_mapping test. The culprit of the problem is that block_mkwrite() as used in ext4_page_mkwrite() marks buffers dirty and JBD2 notices this before we clear dirty bits later in ext4_page_mkwrite() (since JBD2 doesn't use page lock for protection when inspecting buffers). So for data=journal mode we'll probably have to reimplement what block_page_mkwrite() does in a slightly different manner tweaked for the needs of data=journal mode.
