First, relying on one save for this game to cover weeks of content is not a good idea, as you have found out.
Second, it sounds like you have created a Dragon Soul farm and personally, I would not be in a hurry to fix this, at least until I have some Dragon Souls gathered.
Third, the only thing you can hope for is the cell resets after 30 days (since you have not cleared it) and all this goes away.
Unless you are on the PC, you might be able to disable the dragon in the console. Still, even then I would keep this situation, spawn the darn mask, and farm some souls so you can use the Dragon Souls to Perks mod.
