[ Upstream commit ccad447a3d331a239477c281533bacb585b54a98 ]

Block validity checks need to be skipped in case they are called
for journal blocks since they are part of system's protected
zone.

Currently, this is done by checking inode->ino against
sbi->s_es->s_journal_inum, which is a direct read from the ext4 sb
buffer head. If someone modifies this underneath us then the
s_journal_inum field might get corrupted. To prevent against this,
change the check to directly compare the inode with journal->j_inode.

**Slight change in behavior**: During journal init path,
check_block_validity etc might be called for journal inode when
sbi->s_journal is not set yet. In this case we now proceed with
ext4_inode_block_valid() instead of returning early. Since systems zones
have not been set yet, it is okay to proceed so we can perform basic
checks on the blocks.
