jbd2: cleanup journal tail after transaction commit
Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.
