ext4: fix a bug accessing freed memory in ext4_abort
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Vegard Nossum reported a bug which accesses freed memory (found via
kmemcheck).  When journal has been aborted, ext4_put_super() calls
ext4_abort() after freeing the journal_t object, and then ext4_abort()
accesses it.  This patch fix it.
