From: Luis Henriques (SUSE) <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxx> commit 972090651ee15e51abfb2160e986fa050cfc7a40 upstream. Function __jbd2_log_wait_for_space() assumes that '0' is not a valid value for transaction IDs, which is incorrect. Don't assume that and invoke jbd2_log_wait_commit() if the journal had a committing transaction instead.
