Maybe aborting the handle and journal is also not enough.
Though the journal is aborted, the caller still returns success. Then
the user space thinks the operation is successful, but the metadata
cannot be committed to disk due to aborted journal.
Do we also have to return the error in ocfs2_journal_dirty and then
handle it in caller? If so, it must be huge work:)
