jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

Browse Source 
It is often the case that we mark buffer as having dirty metadata when
the buffer is already in that state (frequent for bitmaps, inode table
blocks, superblock). Thus it is unnecessary to contend on grabbing
journal head reference and bh_state lock. Avoid that by checking whether
any modification to the buffer is needed before grabbing any locks or
references.

[ Note: this is a fixed version of commit 2143c1965a, which was
  reverted in ebeaa8ddb3 due to a false positive triggering of an
  assertion check. -- Ted ]
