OK. Here's a quick patch to fix this. Adapted from the JBD2 patch.
Let me know what you think.

commit 6cbd2ce05b7504514707ce825170a5d77abf6a6e
Author: root <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that one
directory deep. This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no proc
file is created.

Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to
debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable. The
new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug.
