Milos Nikic bac3190a8e jbd2: gracefully abort on checkpointing state corruptions
This patch targets two internal state machine invariants in checkpoint.c
residing inside functions that natively return integer error codes.

- In jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(): A blocknr of 0 indicates a severely
corrupted journal superblock. Replaced the J_ASSERT with a WARN_ON_ONCE
and a graceful journal abort, returning -EFSCORRUPTED.

- In jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(): Replaced the J_ASSERT_BH checking for
an unexpected buffer_jwrite state. If the warning triggers, we
explicitly drop the just-taken get_bh() reference and call __flush_batch()
to safely clean up any previously queued buffers in the j_chkpt_bhs array,
preventing a memory leak before returning -EFSCORRUPTED.
