Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ext4: fix incorrect tid assumption in __jbd2_log_wait_for_space()

Function __jbd2_log_wait_for_space() assumes that '0' is not a valid value
for transaction IDs, which is incorrect.  Don't assume that and invoke
jbd2_log_wait_commit() if the journal had a committing transaction instead.
