Subject: [PATCH 1/2] jbd: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction started

A revoked block in a transaction means the block is deleted by filesystem
in the transaction.  If the block is reused in the same transaction, we
need to cancel revoke status of the block.  We also should prohibit a block
from being revoked more than once in a transaction.  So we need to look up
the revoke table to check if a given block is revoked, to acceletate the
looking up, jbd/jbd2 use revoked flag to cache status of a block.

Ok, we should clear revoked flag once the transaction is not running. Because
the revoking and cancelling revoke operate on a running transaction. Once
a transaction is non-running, revoked flag is useless.

Without this patch, the following case triggers a false journal error.
Given that a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered
mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file.  Up to now,
user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled, then truncates
the file.  The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it
has revoked flag in last transaction.
