The code indicates that journal_init_common() fills the journal_t object
it returns while the comment incorrectly states that only a few fields are
initialised. Also, the comment claims that journal structures could be
created from scratch which isn't possible as journal_init_common() calls
journal_load_superblock() which loads and checks journal superblock from
disk.

Ha, thank you for the fix. This comment became stale after commit
c30713084ba5 ("jbd2:move load_superblock() into journal_init_common()") in
the "ext4,jbd2: cleanup journal load and initialization process" series.
