What were the errors in the log before this? i.e. why did
xfs_log_force() get an EIO error? It sounds like there's something
already gone wrong before this point.

This has died during log recovery (on a different filesytem?), which
implies that a buffer has not been set up properly with a buftarg or
mount stucture. I can't see how that would happen from the code
because each place that explicitly sets xlog_recover_iodone() as the
completion also sets the bp->b_mount correctly. Still, there's been
an IO error of some kind to get to xfs_ioerror_alert(), so it comes
back to whether there were errors reported before this failure?
Also, were you mounting a snapshot when this occurred? If so, you
shouldn't be doing log recovery on a snapshot because that writes to
the snapshot - you should mount them with the "ro,norecovery"
options to avoid this.
Cheers,
Dave.
