Above issue may happen as follows:

                                                   jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
                                                    while (commit_transaction->t_reserved_list)
                                                      jh = commit_transaction->t_reserved_list;

				 bh->b_private = NULL;
				 jh->b_bh = NULL;
				                      jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(journal, jh);
							bh = jh2bh(jh);
							->bh is NULL, later will trigger null-ptr-deref
				 journal_free_journal_head(jh);

As after 96f1e0974575 commit, handle reserved list will not hold "journal->j_state_lock"
when kjournald2 commit transaction. So journal_unmap_buffer maybe free
journal_head when handle reserved list. And lead to null-ptr-deref or some
strange errors.
As reserved list almost time is empty. Use "journal->j_state_lock" to protect
handle reserved list can simply solve above issue.

Fixes: 96f1e0974575("jbd2: avoid long hold times of j_state_lock while committing a transaction")
