commit 6f1b228529ae49b0f85ab89bcdb6c365df401558 caused a deadlock
which was uncovered by our internal tests. The deadlock is as foollows:

Task 1:
A1) jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
A2)         spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock);
A3)         __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()
A4)                         jbd2_journal_put_journal_head()
A5)                                         jbd_lock_bh_journal_head()

Task 2:
B1) ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable()
B2)         jbd_lock_bh_journal_head()
B3)         spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock);

A1->A2->A3->A4->B1->B2->B3(blocked)->A5(blocked)

Now cause process 2 has the jbd lock, it doesn’t let process 1 to continue after A5.
Process 2 now is waiting for b_state_lock to be released by process 1.

This patch resolves the deadlock.

Seems a mistake here, it's 'jh' not 'bh'.

And symbols jbd2_journal_[grab|put]_journal_head are not exported. Do
you test your patch?

How about the following way?
