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.
