Subject: [PATCH 1/3] jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint and ->j_commit_callback V2
Following race is possible
[kjournald2] other_task
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
j_state = T_FINISHED;
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
->jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()
->jbd2_journal_free_transaction();
->kmem_cache_free(transaction)
->j_commit_callback(journal, transaction);
-> USE_AFTER_FREE

In order to demonstrace this issue one should mount ext4 with -odiscard option
on SSD disk. This makes callback longer and race window becomes wider.
In order to fix this we should mark transaction as finished only after
callbacks have completed
Changes since V1:
- Simplify code-flow and add comments according to Jan's request
