From: Luis Henriques (SUSE) <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxx> commit dd589b0f1445e1ea1085b98edca6e4d5dedb98d0 upstream. Function ext4_wait_for_tail_page_commit() 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.
