ext4: Use bforget() in no journal mode for ext4_journal_{forget,revoke}()

When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated
must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the
current transaction and/or revoked.  This is done by calling the
functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call
jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively.

Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call
bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata
block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for
another inode's data block.
