commit fa30dde38aa8628c73a6dded7cb0bba38c27b576 upstream.

We see the following NULL pointer dereference while running xfstests
generic/475:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
PGD 8000000c84bad067 P4D 8000000c84bad067 PUD c84e62067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 7 PID: 9886 Comm: fsstress Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.0.0-rc8 #10
RIP: 0010:ext4_do_update_inode+0x4ec/0x760

Call Trace:

? generic_permission+0x12b/0x1a0

This is triggered because the NULL pointer handle->h_transaction was
dereferenced in function ext4_update_inode_fsync_trans().
I found that the h_transaction was set to NULL in jbd2__journal_restart
but failed to attached to a new transaction while the journal is aborted.

Fix this by checking the handle before updating the inode.

Fixes: b436b9bef84d ("ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync")
