commit 04e6ce8f06d161399e5afde3df5dcfa9455b4952 upstream.
Calling ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() with a NULL handle is racy and may result in a fast-commit being done before the filesystem is effectively marked as ineligible. This patch moves the call to this function so that an handle can be used. If a transaction fails to start, then there's not point in trying to mark the filesystem as ineligible, and an error will eventually be returned to user-space.
