ext4: Make sure BH_New bit is cleared in ->write_end handler



[ Upstream commit 91b8ca8b ]

Currently we clear BH_New bit in case of error and also in the standard
ext4_write_end() handler (in block_commit_write()). However
ext4_journalled_write_end() misses this clearing and thus we are leaving
stale BH_New bits behind. Generally ext4_block_write_begin() clears
these bits before any harm can be done but in case blocksize < pagesize
and we hit some error when processing a page with these stale bits,
we'll try to zero buffers with these stale BH_New bits and jbd2 will
complain (as buffers were not prepared for writing in this transaction).
Fix the problem by clearing BH_New bits in ext4_journalled_write_end()
and WARN if ext4_block_write_begin() sees stale BH_New bits.
