ext4: fix warning when submitting superblock in ext4_commit_super()
We have already check the io_error and uptodate flag before submitting
the superblock buffer, and re-set the uptodate flag if it has been
failed to write out. But it was lockless and could be raced by another
ext4_commit_super(), and finally trigger '!uptodate' WARNING when
marking buffer dirty. Fix it by submit buffer directly.
