From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@users.sf.net>

The API journal_release_buffer() is called to cancel a previous call
to journal_get_write_access() and to recall the used buffer credit.
Current implementation of journal_release_buffer() in JBD is empty,
since no buffer credits are used until the buffer is marked dirty.
However, since the resulting snapshot COW operation cannot be undone,
we try to extend the current transaction to compensate for the used
credits of the extra COW operation, so we don't run out of buffer
credits too soon.
