Update for 12-ext4-jinode-hang.patch after review.

ext4: Fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

While commiting the transaction we set the i_flags
of jbd2_inode to JI_COMMIT_RUNNING. This is needed to ensure
that when we are commiting the transaction we don't release
the inode via iput. In ext4_clear_inode we wait for the
flag to be cleared before we release the inode.

In ext4_new_inode we call iput for different failure cases
before initializing the jbd2_inode. This cause the failure
case to hang in iput as show below. Fix the same by initializing
jbd2_inode early.
