Commit 904cdbd41d74 ("jbd2: clear dirty flag when revoking a buffer from
an older transaction") set the BH_Freed flag when forgetting a metadata
buffer which belongs to the committing transaction, it indicate the
committing process clear dirty bits when it is done with the buffer. But
it also clear the BH_Mapped flag at the same time, which may trigger
below NULL pointer oops when block_size < PAGE_SIZE.

                      __journal_remove_journal_head(hb1)
		       jh1 is NULL and trigger oops

*) Dir entry block bh1 and bh2 belongs to one page, and the bh2 has
   already been unmapped.

For the metadata buffer we forgetting, we should always keep the mapped
flag and clear the dirty flags is enough, so this patch pick out the
these buffers and keep their BH_Mapped flag.

Fixes: 904cdbd41d74 ("jbd2: clear dirty flag when revoking a buffer from an older transaction")

Thanks! The patch looks good. I have just some comment reformulation

Thanks for your suggestion, Ted has already pushed this patch to upstream,
I could write an appending patch to fix this.

This should be a stable candidate I guess.
