jbd2_journal_revocer() may fail when some error occers such as ENOMEM. However, jsb->s_start is still cleared by func e2fsck_journal_release(). This may break consistency between metadata and data in disk. Sometimes, failure in jbd2_journal_revocer() is temporary but retry e2fsck will skip the journal recovery when the temporary problem is fixed. To fix this case, we use "fatal_error" instead "goto errout" when recover journal failed. We think if journal recovery fails, we need send error message to user and reserve the recovery flags to recover the journal when try e2fsck again.
