mainline inclusion from mainline-5.3-rc1 commit a231f07a5fe30a522b402011c5190cb936641a66 category: backport In journal_read_bucket() when setting ja->seq[bucket_index], there might be potential case that a later non-maximum overwrites a better sequence number to ja->seq[bucket_index]. This patch adds a check to make sure that ja->seq[bucket_index] will be only set a new value if it is bigger then current value.
