ocfs2: Re-journal buffers after transaction extend
ocfs2_extend_trans() might call journal_restart() which will commit dirty
buffers and then restart the transaction. This means that any buffers which
still need changes should be passed to journal_access() again. Some paths
during extend weren't doing this right.
