Fixed up trivial conflict in lib/Kconfig, and a semantic conflict in
fs/logfs/inode.c introduced by write_inode() being changed to use
writeback_control' by commit a9185b41a4
("pass writeback_control to ->write_inode")

c2f843f03d [LogFS] Change magic number
Many changes were made during development that could result in old
versions of mklogfs and the kernel code being subtly incompatible.
Not being a friend of subtleties, I hereby change the magic number.
Any old version of mklogfs is now guaranteed to fail.

9cf05b416d [LogFS] Remove h_version field
Incompatible change: h_compr is moved up so the padding is all in one chunk.

c6d3830140 [LogFS] Only write journal if dirty
This prevents unnecessary journal writes.  More importantly it prevents
an oops due to a journal write on failed mount.

9421502b4f [LogFS] Fix bdev erases
Erases for block devices were always just emulated by writing 0xff.
Some time back the write was removed and only the page cache was
changed to 0xff.  Superficialy a good idea with two problems:
1. Touching the page cache isn't necessary either.
2. However, writing out 0xff _is_ necessary for the journal.  As the
   journal is scanned linearly, an old non-overwritten commit entry
   can be used on next mount and cause havoc.

This should fix both aspects.

Andrew Morton sayeth:
fs/logfs/journal.c: In function 'logfs_init_journal':

Can this be squished please?
