   // The bh won't be replayed in next mount.
, which could corrupt the ext4 image, fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Since writeback process clears buffer dirty after locking buffer head,
we can fix it by try locking buffer and check dirtiness while buffer is
locked, the buffer head can be removed if it is neither dirty nor locked.
