Since the journal inode is already checked when we added it to the
block validity's system zone, if we check it again, we'll just trigger
a failure.
This was causing failures like this:
[ 53.897001] EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_find_extent:909: inode
#8: comm jbd2/sda-8: pblk 121667583 bad header/extent: invalid extent entries - magic f30a, entries 8, max 340(340), depth 0(0)
[ 53.931430] jbd2_journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 49 on sda-8
[ 53.938480] Aborting journal on device sda-8.
... but only if the system was under enough memory pressure that
logical->physical mapping for the journal inode gets pushed out of the
extent cache. (This is why it wasn't noticed earlier.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
