As https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/issues/120 describe tune2fs do not update j_tail_sequence when do journal recovery.

To avoid file system corruption in this case, if detect current transaction's commit time earlier than previous transaction's commit time when do journal scan, just return error.
