032d8f7268 [LogFS] Prevent memory corruption on large deletes
Removing sufficiently large files would create aliases for a large
number of segments.  This in turn results in a large number of journal
entries and an overflow of s_je_array.

Cheap fix is to add a BUG_ON, turning memory corruption into something
annoying, but less dangerous.  Real fix is to count the number of
affected segments and prevent the problem completely.

faaa27ab91 Write out both superblocks on mismatch
If the first superblock is wrong and the second gets written, there
will still be a mismatch on next mount.  Write both to make sure they
match.

c6d3830140 [LogFS] Only write journal if dirty
This prevents unnecessary journal writes.  More importantly it prevents
an oops due to a journal write on failed mount.

9421502b4f [LogFS] Fix bdev erases
Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff.
Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was
changed to 0xff.  Superficialy a good idea with two problems:
1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either.
2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal.  As the
   journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry
   can be used on next mount and cause havoc.

This should fix both aspects.
