ext4: prevent kernel panic in case of uninitialized jinode
ext4: prevent kernel panic in case of uninitialized jinode

In some cases the kernel crash occurs during system suspend/resume:

[ 4095.071197] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

The probably reason of such behaviour is an inode opened in READ mode
has been marked as 'dirty' somehow and written back by ext4_da_writepages.
Cause jinode == NULL it could lead to the kernel panic.

The patch prevents kernel panic and helps to investigate the problem
providing an inode number.
