commit 4490e803e1fe9fab8db5025e44e23b55df54078b upstream. When joining a transaction with TRANS_JOIN_NOSTART, if we don't find a running transaction we end up creating one. This goes against the purpose of TRANS_JOIN_NOSTART which is to join a running transaction if its state is at or below the state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, otherwise return an -ENOENT error and don't start a new transaction. So fix this to not create a new transaction if there's no running transaction at or below that state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
