Subject: [PATCH 2/2] jbd2: Simplify calling convention around __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list

__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() returns number of buffers it
freed but noone was using the value so just stop doing that. This
also allows for simplifying the calling convention for
journal_clean_once_cp_list().
