EXT4_SB(sb)->s_journal is NULL in no-journal mode.  So you need to
check for this --- this is something which is done in
ext4_journal_force_commit().

Since this is the only user of ext4_journal_force_commit(), you might
as well get rid of ext4_journal_force_commit() as part of making this
change.

The other possibility is we perhaps we should just change
jbd2_journal_force_commit() to call jbd2_journal_start_commit() and
jbd2_log_wait_commit(); the only other caller of
jbd2_journal_force_commit() is ocfs2_sync_file(), and it would benefit
from this change as well.
