In fact, I got a lot of call trace. All call trace trigger warning when call
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadate.
If there are racing calls to __ext4_handle_dirty_metadate. It's possible for
another writeback result in the buffer being marked with an error after we check
if the buffer is marked as having a write error and the buffer up-to-date flag
is cleared. If that happens mark_buffer_dirty() can end up throwing a WARN_ON_ONCE.
To Fix this warning, lock buffer when call mark_buffer_dirty in function
__ext4_handle_dirty_metadate.
