Subject: [PATCH 3.11 046/131] jbd2: fix use after free in jbd2_journal_start_reserved()

3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 92e3b40537707001d17bbad800d150ab04e53bf4 upstream.

If start_this_handle() fails then it leads to a use after free of
"handle".
