ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparound

Browse source 
In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.

Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified
by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily",
attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning
forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit().

Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c
that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those
functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same
stale tid, and then wait for a very long time.  To fix this, we
replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and
jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function,
jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's.

As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking
j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started.  This
should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for
ext4's scalability.
