After commit 96f1e0974575, we no longer hold the j_state_lock while
iterating over the list of reserved handles in
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().  This potentially allows the
journal_head to be freed by journal_unmap_buffer while the commit
codepath is also trying to free the BJ_Reserved buffers.  Keeping
j_state_lock held while trying extends hold time of the lock
minimally, and solves this issue.
