Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened
for writing.  This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info
structure.

I looked into release the jinode structure in ext4_release_file(), but
that doesn't work because we need to wait until the delayed allocation
is completed.  At some point I'll look into adding something that checks
to see if we have finished doing the background writeout, but I'm going
to save that for another patch.

actually, I though, jbd2_free_inode would be better off outside the spinlock,
but if you're going to do it here you might just as well change this to:
+               else
+                       jbd2_free_inode(jinode);
