Nasty! The fix is correct just one style nit below. But feel free to add:

Ah, the indentation is evil here. It made me think you don't use the
return value of ext4_journal_callback_try_del() for a while. Please indent
it like:
if (can_merge(entry, new_entry) &&
ext4_journal_callback_try_del(handle, > &entry->efd_jce)) {
