[PATCH] jbd: fix ordered-data writeout logic

There's some nasty code in commit which deals with a lock ranking problem. 
Currently if it fails to get the lock when and local variable `bufs' is zero
we forget to write out some ordered-data buffers.  So a subsequent
crash+recovery could yield stale data in existing files.

Fix it by correctly restarting the t_sync_datalist search.
