Subject: nilfs2: do not output warnings when clearing dirty buffers
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 18:01:28 +0900

After detecting file system corruption and degrading to a read-only mount,
dirty folios and buffers in the page cache are cleared, and a large number
of warnings are output at that time, often filling up the kernel log.

In this case, since the degrading to a read-only mount is output to the
kernel log, these warnings are not very meaningful, and are rather a
nuisance in system management and debugging.

The related nilfs2-specific page/folio routines have a silent argument
that suppresses the warning output, but since it is not currently used
meaningfully, remove both the silent argument and the warning output.
