[RFC PATCH v4 3/8] jbd2: don't abort the journal when freeing buffers

[Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>]

Now that we can be sure the journal is aborted once a buffer has failed
to be written back to disk, we can remove the journal abort logic in
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() which was introduced in
commit c044f3d8360d ("jbd2: abort journal if free a async write error
metadata buffer"), because it may cost and propably is not safe.
