Revert "gfs2: eliminate tr_num_revoke_rm"

This reverts commit e955537e.

Before patch e955537e, tr_num_revoke tracked the number of revokes
added to the transaction, and tr_num_revoke_rm tracked how many
revokes were removed. But since revokes are queued off the sdp
(superblock) pointer, some transactions could remove more revokes
than they added. (e.g. revokes added by a different process).
Commit e955537e eliminated transaction variable tr_num_revoke_rm,
but in order to do so, it changed the accounting to always use
tr_num_revoke for its math. Since you can remove more revokes than
you add, tr_num_revoke could now become a negative value.
This negative value broke the assert in function gfs2_trans_end:

	if (gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, (nbuf <=3D tr->tr_blocks) &&
			       (tr->tr_num_revoke <=3D tr->tr_revokes)))

One way to fix this is to simply remove the tr_num_revoke clause
from the assert and allow the value to become negative. Andreas
didn't like that idea, so instead, we decided to revert e955537e
