[ Upstream commit 547b9ad698b434eadca46319cb47e5875b55ef03 ]
When executing generic/388 on a ppc64le machine, we notice the following call trace,
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6637 at /root/repos/linux/fs/buffer.c:1195 __brelse+0x84/0xc0

The warning happens because flush_descriptor() drops bh reference it does not own. The bh reference acquired by jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is owned by the log_bufs list and gets released when this list is processed. The reference for doing IO is only acquired in write_dirty_buffer() later in flush_descriptor().
