Calling ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() with a NULL handle is racy and may result
in a fast-commit being done before the filesystem is effectively marked as
ineligible. This patch moves the call to this function so that an handle
can be used. If a transaction fails to start, then there's not point in
trying to mark the filesystem as ineligible, and an error will eventually be
returned to user-space.
