We rarely use kerneldoc style comments for local functions. In particular
in this place where there's only one user, it seems a bit superfluous. But
if you want to keep it, I'm not against it but then the proper kerneldoc
format should be used. In particular, it should be like:

/**
 * journal_check_superblock - check validity of journal superblock
 * @journal: journal to act on.
 *
 * ... description ... and include here also description of return values
 */


The same comment applies to journal_load_superblock() below.
