ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference while journal is aborted

commit fa30dde3 upstream.

We see the following NULL pointer dereference while running xfstests
generic/475:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008

This is triggered because the NULL pointer handle->h_transaction was
dereferenced in function ext4_update_inode_fsync_trans().
I found that the h_transaction was set to NULL in jbd2__journal_restart
but failed to attached to a new transaction while the journal is aborted.

Fix this by checking the handle before updating the inode.

Fixes: b436b9be ("ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync")
