Subject: [PATCHv2 4/4] fs/buffer: Make submit_bh & submit_bh_wbc return type as void
Date:   Mon, 20 Jun 2022 14:34:37 +0530
Message-Id: <5c8fd257bd86f8f2a3f97b72ef46c85c4f5030b1.1655715329.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc are non-blocking functions which just submit
the bio and return. The caller of submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc needs to wait
on buffer till I/O completion and then check buffer head's b_state field
to know if there was any I/O error.

Hence there is no need for these functions to have any return type.
Even now they always returns 0. Hence drop the return value and make
their return type as void to avoid any confusion.
