    ext4: protect journal inode's blocks using block_validity

    commit 345c0dbf3a30872d9b204db96b5857cd00808cae upstream.

    Add the blocks which belong to the journal inode to block_validity's
    system zone so attempts to deallocate or overwrite the journal due a
    corrupted file system where the journal blocks are also claimed by
    another inode.
