GH-2076: Fix Async Commit Retries

#2076

Do not attempt to retry asynchronous commits.
- a later commit for the same topic/partition may have already succeeded
- many consecutive retryable exceptions can cause a stack overflow

**cherry-pick to 2.8.x, 2.7.x**

* Remove unused parameter; polish javadocs.
