[RFC PATCH] jbd2: make '0' an invalid transaction sequence

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Jul 12 2024 - 05:53:26 EST


Since there's code (in fast-commit) that already handles a '0' tid as a
special case, it's better to ensure that jbd2 never sets it to that value
when journal->j_transaction_sequence increment wraps.
