jbd2: fold __process_buffer() into jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
__process_buffer() is only called by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), and it had a very complex locking protocol where it would be called with the j_list_lock, and sometimes exit with the lock held (if the return code was 0), or release the lock. This was confusing both to humans and to smatch (which erronously complained that the lock was taken twice). Folding __process_buffer() to the caller allows us to simplify the control flow, making the resulting function easier to read and reason about, and dropping the compiled size of fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c by 150 bytes (over 4% of the text size).
