We're panicing in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() if a jbd-managed buffer is seen.
At first glance, this seems ok but in reality it can happen. My test case
was to just run 'exorcist'. A struct inode is being pushed out of memory but
is then re-read at a later time, before the buffer has been checkpointed by
jbd. This causes a BUG to be hit in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync().
