ext4: don't lock buffer in ext4_commit_super if holding spinlock

If there is an error reported in mballoc via ext4_grp_locked_error(),
the code is holding a spinlock, so ext4_commit_super() must not try to
lock the buffer head, or else it will trigger a BUG:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/buffer_head.h:358

Since ext4_grp_locked_error() calls ext4_commit_super with sync == 0
(and it is the only caller which does so), avoid locking and unlocking
the buffer in this case.

This can result in races with ext4_commit_super() if there are other
problems (which is what commit 4743f83 was trying to address),
but a Warning is better than BUG.
