Linus Torvalds b6e3224fb2 Revert "task_struct: make journal_info conditional"
This reverts commit e4c570c4cb, as
requested by Alexey:

 "I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
  To iterate:
   * patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
     without reboot.
   * this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"

  None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
  or effectively."

help
This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers. It is currently used by
the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
journal support to other file systems or block devices such
as RAID or LVM.
If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
probably want to say N.
To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
called jbd2. If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
you cannot compile this code as a module.
config JBD2_DEBUG
bool "JBD2 (ext4) debugging support"
depends on JBD2 && DEBUG_FS
help
If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
in order to help track down any problems you are having.
By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
with "echo N > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug", where N is a
number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
output is generated. To turn debugging off again, do
"echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/jbd2/jbd2-debug".
