OK, makes sense. You can add:

Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

Although I'd note that after your patch 1, there is only a single place
that will call jbd2_journal_abort() with 0 errno - namely one place in
fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c and I think it would make sense for that call site to
just pass -EIO and we can completely drop the checks whether errno != 0.
