1 jbd2: don't call get_bh() before calling __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()
3 The __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't require an elevated
4 b_count; indeed, until the jh structure gets released by the call to
5 jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(), the bh's b_count is elevated by
6 virtue of the existence of the jh structure.
