ext4_end_io_dio() queues io_end-&gt;work and then clears iocb-&gt;private;
however, io_end-&gt;work calls aio_complete() which frees the iocb
object.  If that slab object gets reallocated, then ext4_end_io_dio()
can end up clearing someone else's iocb-&gt;private, this use-after-free
can cause a leak of a struct ext4_io_end_t structure.

Detected and tested with slab poisoning.

[ Note: Can also reproduce using 12 fio's against 12 file systems with the
  following configuration file:

  [global]
  direct=1
  ioengine=libaio
  iodepth=1
  bs=4k
  ba=4k
  size=128m

  [create]
  filename=${TESTDIR}
  rw=write

  -- tytso ]

sbi is not defined, so let ext4_free_blocks use EXT4_SB(sb) instead
when EXT4FS_DEBUG is defined.

This avoids a confusing failure in the init scripts when the
/etc/fstab has data=writeback or data=journal but the file system does
not have a journal.  So check for this case explicitly, and warn the
user that we are ignoring the (pointless, since they have no journal)
data=* mount option.
