ext4: check for non-zero journal inum in ext4_calculate_overhead



While calculating overhead for internal journal, also check
that j_inum shouldn't be 0. Otherwise we get below error with
xfstests generic/050 with external journal (XXX_LOGDEV config) enabled.

It could be simply reproduced with loop device with an external journal
and marking blockdev as RO before mounting.
