    jbd: replace potentially false assertion with if block
    
    If an error occurs during jbd cache initialisation it is possible for the
    journal_head_cache to be NULL when journal_destroy_journal_head_cache is
    called.  Replace the J_ASSERT with an if block to handle the situation
    correctly.
    
    Note that even with this fix things will break badly if jbd is statically
    compiled in and cache initialisation fails.
