Subject: ocfs2: call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before ocfs2_journal_dirty() in ocfs2_write_end_nolock()

1: After we call ocfs2_journal_access_di() in ocfs2_write_begin(),
   jbd2_journal_restart() may also be called, in this function transaction
   A's t_updates-- and obtains a new transaction B.  If
   jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() is happened to commit transaction A,
   when t_updates==0, it will continue to complete commit and unfile
   buffer.

   So when jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), the handle is pointed a new
   transaction B, and the buffer head's journal head is already freed,
   jh->b_transaction == NULL, jh->b_next_transaction == NULL, it returns
   EINVAL, So it triggers the BUG_ON(status).

    jbd2__journal_start(t_updates+1,
                       transaction A)

              (t_updates-1,transaction B) t_updates==0
                                        __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer
                                        (jh->b_transaction = NULL)
ocfs2_write_end
ocfs2_write_end_nolock
    ocfs2_journal_dirty
        jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(bug)
   ocfs2_commit_trans

2.  In ext4, I found that: jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called by
   ext4_write_end.

ext4_write_begin
    ext4_journal_start
        __ext4_journal_start_sb
            ext4_journal_check_start
            jbd2__journal_start

ext4_write_end
    ext4_mark_inode_dirty
        ext4_reserve_inode_write
            ext4_journal_get_write_access
                jbd2_journal_get_write_access
        ext4_mark_iloc_dirty
            ext4_do_update_inode
                ext4_handle_dirty_metadata
                    jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata

3. So I think we should put ocfs2_journal_access_di before
   ocfs2_journal_dirty in the ocfs2_write_end.  and it works well after my
   modification.
