ext4: forbid journal_async_commit in data=ordered mode

Option journal_async_commit breaks gurantees of data=ordered mode as it
sends only a single cache flush after writing a transaction commit
block. Thus even though the transaction including the commit block is
fully stored on persistent storage, file data may still linger in drives
caches and will be lost on power failure. Since all checksums match on
journal recovery, we replay the transaction thus possibly exposing stale
user data.

To fix this data exposure issue, remove the possibility to use
journal_async_commit in data=ordered mode.
