In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in
i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large
(2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap,
causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail.

Commit d9b0193 "jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug" attempted to fix
this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing
the logic in jbd_log_start_commit().
