    fs: remove _submit_bh() · 020c2833

    _submit_bh() allowed submitting a buffer_head for I/O using custom
    bio_flags.  It used to be used by jbd to set BIO_SNAP_STABLE, introduced
    by commit 71368511
    
     ("mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a
    per-bio operation").  However, the code and flag has since been removed
    and no _submit_bh() users remain.
    
    These days, bio_flags are mostly used internally by the block layer to
    track the state of bio's.  As such, it doesn't really make sense for
    filesystems to use them instead of op_flags when wanting special
    behavior for block requests.
    
    Therefore, remove _submit_bh() and trim the bio_flags argument from
    submit_bh_wbc().
