jbd2: fix assertion failure in jbd2_journal_flush()

The following race is possible between start_this_handle() and someone
calling jbd2_journal_flush().

Process A                              Process B
start_this_handle().
  if (journal->j_barrier_count) # false
  if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { #true
    read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
                                       jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
                                       jbd2_journal_flush()
                                         write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
                                         if (journal->j_running_transaction) {
                                           # false
                                         ... wait for committing trans ...
                                         write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    ...
    write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { # true
      jbd2_get_transaction(journal, new_transaction);
    write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
    goto repeat; # eventually blocks on j_barrier_count > 0
                                         ...
                                         J_ASSERT(!journal->j_running_transaction);
                                           # fails

We fix the race by rechecking j_barrier_count after reacquiring j_state_lock
in exclusive mode.
