[PATCH] jbd: revert checkpoint list changes

This patch reverts commit f93ea411b73594f7d144855fd34278bcf34a9afc:
  [PATCH] jbd: split checkpoint lists

This broke journal_flush() for OCFS2, which is its method of being sure
that metadata is sent to disk for another node.

And two related commits 8d3c7fce2d20ecc3264c8d8c91ae3beacdeaed1b and
43c3e6f5abdf6acac9b90c86bf03f995bf7d3d92 with the subjects:
  [PATCH] jbd: log_do_checkpoint fix
  [PATCH] jbd: remove_transaction fix

These seem to be incremental bugfixes on the original patch and as such are
no longer needed.
