2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ (cherry picked from commit f6f50e28f0cb8d7bcdfaacc83129f005dede11b1) Due to on disk corruption, it can happen that journal is too short. Fail to load it in such case so that we don't oops somewhere later.
