[FOR-STABLE 10/20] jbd2: Fix buffer head leak when writing the commit block

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2008-11-16 16:37:19
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), journalling layer for block devices (jbd2), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, "Theodore Ts'o", Jan Kara, Linus Torvalds

Also make sure the buffer heads are marked clean before submitting bh
for writing.  The previous code was marking the buffer head dirty,
which would have forced an unneeded write (and seek) to the journal
for no good reason.

Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
(cherry picked from commit 45a90bfd90c1215bf824c0f705b409723f52361b)
