From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit 09e44868f1e03c7825ca4283256abedc95e249a3 upstream. When syncing a log, if we fail to update a log root in the log root tree, we are aborting the transaction if the failure was not -ENOSPC. This is excessive because there is a chance that a transaction commit can succeed, and therefore avoid to turn the filesystem into RO mode. All we need to be careful about is to mark the log for a full commit, which we already do, to make sure no one commits a super block pointing to an outdated log root tree. So don't abort the transaction if we fail to update a log root in the log root tree, and log an error if the failure is not -ENOSPC, so that it does not go completely unnoticed.
