[PATCH] ext3: fix memory leak

We need to unconditionally brelse() the buffer in there, because
journal_remove_journal_head() leaves a ref behind.

release_buffer_page() does that.  Call it all the time because we can usually
strip the buffers and free the page even if it was not marked buffer_freed().

Mainly affects data=journal mode
