Subject: [PATCH 1/3] jbd2: protect buffers release with j_checkpoint_mutex

There is a race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and
jbd2_journal_destroy(), so the jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() may still
missing to detect the buffer write io error flag and lead to filesystem
inconsistency.

jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()     ext4_put_super()
                                        jbd2_journal_destroy()
  __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()
  detect buffer write error              jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
                                         jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()
                                           <--- lead to inconsistency
  jbd2_journal_abort()

Fix this issue by add j_checkpoint_mutex to protect journal buffer
release on jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers().
