If we race with commit code setting i_transaction to NULL, we could possibly dereference it. Proper locking requires the journal pointer (to access journal->j_list_lock), which we don't have. So we have to change the prototype of the function so that filesystem passes us the journal pointer. Also add a more detailed comment about why the function jbd2_journal_begin_ordered_truncate() does what it does and how it should be used. Thanks to Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> for pointing to the suspitious code.
