jbd2_journal_init_inode() does not call jbd2_stats_proc_exit() on all
failure paths after calling jbd2_stats_proc_init(). This leaves
dangling references to the fs in proc.
This patch fixes bug #11493.

I hope this is correct. I don't understand the code very well, but I
did test my patch and it seems to fix the problem. Please don't hit me
too hard, this is the first kernel patch I have ever submitted.
