[BUG] ext4: generic/764 failed when using fast_commit option (error loading journal)

[Vyacheslav Kovalevsky]

Hello, when testing ext4 with fast_commit enabled (Ubuntu 24.04, Linux 
6.8) I encountered this test failure:

Also tested on Linux 7.2 (upstream) & 6.17.0-29-generic (Ubuntu 25.10).

I reported this issue previously here (did not know about the existing 
test failing):
