MLK-12091 fs: ext3: add kludge to avoid an oops after the disk disappears
The idea of this patch is borrowed from the commit of ext4: 7c2e70879fc0949b4220ee61b7c4553f6976a94d, which is kept in upstream as a kludge for ext4 driver, since ext3 driver has the same problem but obsolete in upstream 4.3, we port it for ext3 for internal 4.1 tree.
