Subject: [PATCH 4.14 163/185] gfs2: clear buf_in_tr when ending a transaction in sweep_bh_for_rgrps

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@...hat.com>

commit f0b444b349e33ae0d3dd93e25ca365482a5d17d4 upstream.

In function sweep_bh_for_rgrps, which is a helper for punch_hole,
it uses variable buf_in_tr to keep track of when it needs to commit
pending block frees on a partial delete that overflows the
transaction created for the delete. The problem is that the
variable was initialized at the start of function sweep_bh_for_rgrps
but it was never cleared, even when starting a new transaction.

This patch reinitializes the variable when the transaction is
ended, so the next transaction starts out with it cleared.

Fixes: d552a2b9b33e ("GFS2: Non-recursive delete")
