When clearing inode journal flag, we call jbd2_journal_flush() to force all the journalled data to their final locations. Currently we ignore when this fails and continue clearing inode journal flag. This isn't a big problem because when jbd2_journal_flush() fails, journal is likely aborted anyway. But it can still lead to somewhat confusing results so rather bail out early.
