Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ext4: fix incorrect tid assumption in ext4_fc_mark_ineligible()

Function jbd2_journal_shrink_checkpoint_list() assumes that '0' is not a
valid value for transaction IDs, which is incorrect.

Furthermore, the sbi->s_fc_ineligible_tid handling also makes the same
assumption by being initialised to '0'.  Fortunately, the sb flag
EXT4_MF_FC_INELIGIBLE can be used to check whether sbi->s_fc_ineligible_tid
has been previously set instead of comparing it with '0'.
