Yes, I'd like the annotations of the other objects to be consistent,
and just use j_state_lock, j_list_lock, etc., for the other annotations.

It's more precise, but it's also unnecessary in this case, since all
of the elements of the journal have a j_ prefix, elements of a
transaction_t have a t_ prefix, etc.  There is also no other structure
element which has a j_state_lock name *other* than in journal_t.
