Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list() returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed some buffers in the transaction. That could make __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction. This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing. Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was really freed.
