Yes.

IMO this callback would be called if any problem is happened before
the log buffer is written as well, e.g, 
xlog_cil_push()->xfs_log_notify() <-- failed
			| 
        		|->xlog_cil_committed()

Besides, the CTX will be removed from the committing list here but
there might still have waiters sleeping on it.
