I see, you want to keep this field for future use even if EXT3_FS=n.
I think, however, there might be a need to remove this because the user
never enable any journaling filesystem.

Subject: [PATCH v2] task_struct: make journal_info conditional

journal_info in task_struct is used in journaling file system only.
So introduce CONFIG_FS_JOURNAL_INFO and make it conditional.
