Thanks, added to the ext4 patch queue, altough I did tighten up up
your patch description slightly:

ext4: fix null handler of ioctls in no journal mode

The EXT4_IOC_GROUP_ADD and EXT4_IOC_GROUP_EXTEND ioctls should not
flush the journal in no_journal mode.  Otherwise, running resize2fs on
a mounted no_journal partition triggers the following error messages:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000014
