Jiufei Xue fa30dde38a ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference while journal is aborted 
We see the following NULL pointer dereference while running xfstests
generic/475:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
PGD 8000000c84bad067 P4D 8000000c84bad067 PUD c84e62067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 7 PID: 9886 Comm: fsstress Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.0.0-rc8 #10

Call Trace:

? generic_permission+0x12b/0x1a0

This is triggered because the NULL pointer handle->h_transaction was
dereferenced in function ext4_update_inode_fsync_trans().
I found that the h_transaction was set to NULL in jbd2__journal_restart
but failed to attached to a new transaction while the journal is aborted.

Fix this by checking the handle before updating the inode.

Fixes: b436b9bef8 ("ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
