[PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=ordered

Browse Source 
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the
length of time a journal replay may take after a crash.  Sometimes, writing
metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing
a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers.
This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin.

This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before
trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction.  It is low risk because if
a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay
after a crash.
