ext4: set h_journal if there is a failure starting a reserved handle
commit b2569260d55228b617bd82aba6d0db2faeeb4116 upstream. If ext4 tries to start a reserved handle via jbd2_journal_start_reserved(), and the journal has been aborted, this can result in a NULL pointer dereference. This is because the fields h_journal and h_transaction in the handle structure share the same memory, via a union, so jbd2_journal_start_reserved() will clear h_journal before calling start_this_handle(). If this function fails due to an aborted handle, h_journal will still be NULL, and the call to jbd2_journal_free_reserved() will pass a NULL journal to sub_reserve_credits(). This can be reproduced by running "kvm-xfstests -c dioread_nolock generic/475".
