Thanks Jan for all the reviews.

So ext4_fc_track_template() adds almost all required information
(including the caller info) in this one trace point along with transaction tid
which is useful for tracking issue similar to what is mentioned in Patch-9.

(race with if inode is part of two transactions tid where jbd2 full commit
may begin for txn n-1 while inode is still in sbi->s_fc_q[MAIN])

And similarly ext4_fc_cleanup() helps with that information about which tid
completed and whether it was called from jbd2 full commit or from fast_commit.
