This patch appears to have been missed for ext3, while the ext4 version was
merged back in March -- see 1363783057-3874-1-git-send-email-tytso@xxxxxxx.
A customer of mine has been running into this bug on their production
servers on 3.4-stable. It applies cleanly to the 3.3 through 3.8 trees.

ext3: fix data=journal fast mount/umount hang
In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
That triggers the WARN_ONCE in __log_start_commit().
Arguably we should adjust ext3_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext3_evict_inode(), and so it's to save a bit of CPU time, and to make
the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it
by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.
This can be easily replicated via:
mount -t ext3 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb
This is a port of ext4 fix from Ted Ts'o.
