[PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint lists
Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.
