journal_unmap_buffer() checks first whether the buffer head is a journal. If so it takes locks and then invokes jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head() followed by another check whether this is journal head buffer. The double checking is pointless. Replace the initial check with jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head() which alredy checks whether the buffer head is actually a journal. Allows also early access to the journal head pointer for the upcoming conversion of state lock to a regular spinlock.
