At the cost of readability, I think this version is slightly faster as it doesn't force the while to reexamine the list, thus doing exactly the same work remove has to do anyway:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 3]
def remove_values_from_list(the_list, val):
    for i in range(the_list.count(val)):
        the_list.remove(val)

remove_values_from_list(x, 2)

print(x)
