jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug

Browse Source 
If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect
blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated.  If there
are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations
wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of
the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in
fs/jbd/commit.c:

	J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);

It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of
fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync().  But
with the right workload, it can.

We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,
since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to
start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).
