Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: fix ZERO_RANGE test failure in data journalling

xfstests generic/091 is failing when mounting ext4 with data=journal.
I think that this regression is same problem that occurred prior to collapse
range issue. So ZERO RANGE also need to call ext4_force_commit as
collapse range.
