[PATCH 3.13 026/172] jbd2: fix use after free in jbd2_journal_start_reserved()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 92e3b40537707001d17bbad800d150ab04e53bf4 upstream.

If start_this_handle() fails then it leads to a use after free of
"handle".
