GFS2: mark the journal idle to fix ro mounts
When gfs2 was mounted read-only and then unmounted, it was writing a header block to the journal in the syncing gfs2_log_flush() call from kill_sb(). This is because the journal was not being marked as idle until the first log header was written out, and on a read-only mount there never was a log header written out. Since the journal was not marked idle, gfs2_log_flush() was writing out a header lock to make sure it was empty during the sync. Not only did this cause IO to a read-only filesystem, but the journalling isn't completely initialized on read-only mounts, and so gfs2 was writing out the wrong sequence number in the log header. Now, the journal is marked idle on mount, and gfs2_log_flush() won't write out anything until there starts being transactions to flush.
