    Analysis

    This bug has the same root cause of 'commit 7f27ec978b0e (ocfs2: call
    ocfs2_journal_access_di() before ocfs2_journal_dirty() in
    ocfs2_write_end_nolock())'.  For this bug, jbd2_journal_restart() is
    called by ocfs2_split_extent() during defragmenting.

    How to fix

    For ocfs2_split_extent() can handle journal operations totally by itself.
    Caller doesn't need to call journal access/dirty pair, and caller only
    needs to call journal start/stop pair.  The fix method is to remove
    journal access/dirty from __ocfs2_move_extent().
