[PATCH v2 4/6] jbd2: Fix wrongly judgement for buffer head removing while doing checkpoint

[Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx>

Following process,

jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
// there are several dirty buffer heads in transaction->t_checkpoint_list
          P1                   wb_workfn
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint
 if (buffer_locked(bh)) // false
                            __block_write_full_page
                             trylock_buffer(bh)
                             test_clear_buffer_dirty(bh)
 if (!buffer_dirty(bh))
  __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh)
   if (buffer_write_io_error(bh)) // false
                             >> bh IO error occurs <<
 jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail
  __jbd2_update_log_tail
   jbd2_write_superblock
   // The bh won't be replayed in next mount.
, which could corrupt the ext4 image, fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Since writeback process clears buffer dirty after locking buffer head,
we can fix it by try locking buffer and check dirtiness while buffer is
locked, the buffer head can be removed if it is neither dirty nor locked.
