BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 15600 Comm: fsstress Not tainted 6.4.0-rc5-xfstests-00055-gd3ab1bca26b4 #190 RIP: 0010:jbd2_journal_set_features+0x13d/0x430 ...

And it raced by journal_get_superblock()->bh_read(), unfortunately, the read IO is also failed, so the error handling in journal_fail_superblock() unexpectedly clear the journal->j_sb_buffer, finally lead to above NULL pointer dereference issue. If the journal super block had been read and verified, there is no need to call bh_read() read it again even if it has been failed to written out. So the fix could be simply move buffer_verified(bh) in front of bh_read(). Also remove a stale comment left in jbd2_journal_check_used_features().
