btrfs: scrub: move scrub_remap_extent() call into scrub_extent()



[SUSPICIOUS CODE]
When refactoring scrub code, I noticed a very strange behavior around
scrub_remap_extent():

	if (sctx->is_dev_replace)
		scrub_remap_extent(fs_info, cur_logical, scrub_len,
				   &cur_physical, &target_dev, &cur_mirror);

As replace target is a 1:1 copy of the source device, thus physical
offset inside the target should be the same as physical inside source,
thus this remap call makes no sense to me.

[REAL FUNCTIONALITY]
After more investigation, the function name scrub_remap_extent()
doesn't tell anything of the truth, nor does its if () condition.

The real story behind this function is that, for scrub_pages() we never
expect missing device, even for replacing missing device.

What scrub_remap_extent() is really doing is to find a live mirror, and
make later scrub_pages() to read data from the good copy, other than
from the missing device and increase error counters unnecessarily.

[IMPROVEMENT]
We have no need to bother scrub_remap_extent() in scrub_simple_mirror()
at all, we only need to call it before we call scrub_pages().

And rename the function to scrub_find_live_copy(), add extra comments on
them.

By this we can remove one parameter from scrub_extent(), and reduce the
unnecessary calls to scrub_remap_extent() for regular replace.
