Revert "btrfs: scrub: use larger block size for data extent scrub"

This reverts commit 786672e9.

[BUG]
Since commit 786672e9

 ("btrfs: scrub: use larger block size for data
extent scrub"), btrfs scrub no longer reports errors if the corruption
is not in the first sector of a STRIPE_LEN.

The following script can expose the problem:

  mkfs.btrfs -f $dev
  mount $dev $mnt
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 0 8k" $mnt/foobar
  umount $mnt

  # 13631488 is the logical bytenr of above 8K extent
  btrfs-map-logical -l 13631488 -b 4096 $dev
  mirror 1 logical 13631488 physical 13631488 device /dev/test/scratch1

  # Corrupt the 2nd sector of that extent
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x00 13635584 4k" $dev

  mount $dev $mnt
  btrfs scrub start -B $mnt
  scrub done for 54e63f9f-0c30-4c84-a33b-5c56014629b7
  Scrub started:    Mon Nov  7 07:18:27 2022
  Status:           finished
  Duration:         0:00:00
  Total to scrub:   536.00MiB
  Rate:             0.00B/s
  Error summary:    no errors found <<<

[CAUSE]
That offending commit enlarges the data extent scrub size from sector
size to BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN, to avoid extra scrub_block to be allocated.

But unfortunately the data extent scrub is still heavily relying on the
fact that there is only one scrub_sector per scrub_block.

Thus it will only check the first sector, and ignoring the remaining
sectors.

Furthermore the error reporting is not able to handle multiple sectors
either.

[FIX]
For now just revert the offending commit.

The consequence is just extra memory usage during scrub.
We will need a proper change to make the remaining data scrub path to
handle multiple sectors before we enlarging the data scrub size.
