The write buffer may not have been written and may no longer be written
due to an interrupted write in the affected page.

It would probably be better to just accept NULL pointers in
mempool_destroy(). But for the current -rc series let's keep things
simple.
This patch was lost in the cracks for a while.
Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@gmail.com> had to rediscover the problem and
send a similar patch because of it. :(

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.

do_logfs_journal_wl_pass() must call freeseg(), thereby clear
PagePrivate on all pages of the current journal segment.

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.
