bcachefs freeze testing has uncovered some raciness between journal entry open/close and pin list reference count management. The details of the problem are described in a separate patch. In preparation for the associated fix, refactor the journal buffer put path a bit to allow it to eventually handle dropping the pin list reference currently held by an open journal entry. Retain the journal write dispatch helper since the closure code is inlined and we don't want to increase the amount of inline code in the transaction commit path, but rename the function to reflect the purpose of final processing of the journal buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
