[PATCH 2/4] jbd: relocate assert after state lock in journal_commit_transaction()

[Paul Gortmaker]

Backport of jbd2 commit 3ca841c106fd6cd2c942985977a5d126434a8dd6
("jbd2: relocate assert after state lock in journal_commit_transaction()")

Quoting that commit:
 ---------------
 The state lock is taken after we are doing an assert on the state
 value, not before.  So we might in fact be doing an assert on a
 transient value.  Ensure the state check is within the scope of
 the state lock being taken.
