Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] ext4: add journal cycled recording support

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

Always enable 'JBD2_CYCLE_RECORD' journal option on ext4, letting the
jbd2 continue to record new journal transactions from the recovered
journal head or the checkpointed transactions in the previous mount.
