ext4: fast commit fixes

This patch series adds several code-only (no on disk format changes)
fixes for the fast commit code. I verified that there were no
regressions introduced by this patch series in xfstests auto and log
groups in fast_commit and 4k configurations.

Changes since V1:

- Broke couple of misc patches into separate patches
- Added a few new fixes:
   - atomic update of mount flags
   - no fast commits on aborted journal
   - Dropped confusing fast commit mount options
- Dropped jbd2_fc_init()
