Subject: [RFC] ext4: Fix fs can't panic when abort by user

Test steps:
1. mount /dev/sda -o errors=panic test
2. mount /dev/sda -o remount,ro test
3. mount /dev/sda -o remount,abort test

Before 014c9caa29d3 not been merged there will trigger panic. But
014c9caa29d3 change this behavior.

Fixes: 014c9caa29d3 ("ext4: make ext4_abort() use __ext4_error()")
