[PATCH] jbd2: Optimize jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() a bit

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

When we discover written out buffer in transaction checkpoint list we
don't have to recheck validity of a transaction. Either this is the last
buffer in a transaction - and then we are done - or this isn't and then
we can just take another buffer from the checkpoint list without
dropping j_list_lock.
