Jan Kara 82b85a747a jbd2: avoid infinite transaction commit loop
commit 27ba5b6731 upstream.

Commit 9f356e5a4f ("jbd2: Account descriptor blocks into
t_outstanding_credits") started to account descriptor blocks into
transactions outstanding credits. However it didn't appropriately
decrease the maximum amount of credits available to userspace. Thus if
the filesystem requests a transaction smaller than
j_max_transaction_buffers but large enough that when descriptor blocks
are added the size exceeds j_max_transaction_buffers, we confuse
add_transaction_credits() into thinking previous handles have grown the
transaction too much and enter infinite journal commit loop in
start_this_handle() -> add_transaction_credits() trying to create
transaction with enough credits available.

Fix the problem by properly accounting for transaction space reserved
for descriptor blocks when verifying requested transaction handle size.
