From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>
Don't send an extra wakeup to kjournald in the case where we
already have the proper target in j_commit_request, i.e. that
transaction has already been requested for commit.
commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" changed
the logic leading to a wakeup, but it caused some extra wakeups
which were found to lead to a measurable performance regression.
