I'm somewhat nervous from this change because this will change the behavior
not only for ext4_fc_replay() case but for any nojournal case as well. That
being said we will be writing out sb directly for nojournal mode anyway and
for errors=panic/remount-ro cases as well, so your change should be safe.
But please explain in the changelog that you change the behavior for any
error happening without journal. With the changelog updated feel free to
add:
