Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 4/8] jbd2: remove redundant buffer io error checks

Now that __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can detect buffer io error
and mark journal checkpoint error, then we abort the journal later
before updating log tail to ensure the filesystem works consistently.
So we could remove other redundant buffer io error checkes.
