Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: flush s_error_work before journal destroy in ext4_fill_super

The error path in ext4_fill_super forget to flush s_error_work before
journal destroy, and it may trigger the follow bug since
flush_stashed_error_work can run concurrently with journal destroy
without any protection for sbi->s_journal.

static int start_this_handle(...)
    BUG_ON(journal->j_flags & JBD2_UNMOUNT); <---- Trigger this

Besides, after we enable fast commit, ext4_fc_replay can add work to
s_error_work but return success, so the latter journal destroy in
ext4_load_journal can trigger this problem too.

Fix this problem with two steps:
1. Call ext4_commit_super directly in ext4_handle_error for the case
   that called from ext4_fc_replay
2. Since it's hard to pair the init and flush for s_error_work, we'd
   better add a extras flush_work before journal destroy in
   ext4_fill_super

Fixes: c92dc856848f ("ext4: defer saving error info from atomic context")
Fixes: 2d01ddc86606 ("ext4: save error info to sb through journal if available")
