While generally it is certainly desirable to detect errors early and bail
out without doing harm, in this particular case I don't see a big point
in complicating the code since the only realistic failure case is that the
journal is aborted, we have to run fsck anyway, and we are not causing any
unfixable damage... So I'll take the patch as is.
