I think 'sbi->s_journal_bdev != sb->s_bdev' always becomes true if 
sbi->s_journal_bdev exists.


mount_bdev
  fmode_t mode = FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL
  bdev_a = blkdev_get_by_path(dev_name, mode, fs_type)


mount_bdev->ext4_fill_super->ext4_load_and_init_journal->ext4_load_journal->ext4_get_dev_journal:
  bdev_b = ext4_blkdev_get(j_dev, sb)
   bdev_b = blkdev_get_by_dev(dev, FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE|FMODE_EXCL, sb)
  EXT4_SB(sb)->s_journal_bdev = bdev_b


bdev_a cannot be bdev_b, because bd_prepare_to_claim() makes sure the 
same block device cannot be openned twice with mode 'FMODE_EXCL'.
