From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 2c1d0e3631e5732dba98ef49ac0bec1388776793 upstream. Handling of aborted journal is a special code path different from standard ext4_error() one and it can call panic() as well. Commit 1dc1097ff60e ("ext4: avoid panic during forced reboot") forgot to update this path so fix that omission.
