Btrfs: fix block group remaining RO forever after error during device replace
When doing a device replace, while at scrub.c:scrub_enumerate_chunks(), we set the block group to RO mode and then wait for any ongoing writes into extents of the block group to complete. While doing that wait we overwrite the value of the variable 'ret' and can break out of the loop if an error happens without turning the block group back into RW mode. So what happens is the following: 1) btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() returns 0, meaning it set the block group to RO mode (its ->ro field set to 1 or incremented to some value > 1); 2) Then btrfs_wait_ordered_roots() returns a value > 0; 3) Then if either joining or committing the transaction fails, we break out of the loop wihtout calling btrfs_dec_block_group_ro(), leaving the block group in RO mode forever. To fix this, just remove the code that waits for ongoing writes to extents of the block group, since it's not needed because in the initial setup phase of a device replace operation, before starting to find all chunks and their extents, we set the target device for replace while holding fs_info->dev_replace->rwsem, which ensures that after releasing that semaphore, any writes into the source device are made to the target device as well (__btrfs_map_block() guarantees that). So while at scrub_enumerate_chunks() we only need to worry about finding and copying extents (from the source device to the target device) that were written before we started the device replace operation.
