btrfs: fix races on root_log_ctx lists
btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs takes a shortcut where it avoids walking the
list because it knows all of the waiters are patiently waiting for the
commit to finish.
But, there's a small race where btrfs_sync_log can remove itself from
the list if it finds a log commit is already done. Also, it uses
list_del_init() to remove itself from the list, but there's no way to
know if btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs has already run, so we don't know for
sure if it is safe to call list_del_init().
This gets rid of all the shortcuts for btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs(), and
just calls it with the proper locking.
This is part two of the corruption fixed by cbd60aa7cd1. I should have
done this in the first place, but convinced myself the optimizations were
safe. A 12 hour run of dbench 2048 will eventually trigger a list debug
WARN_ON for the list_del_init() in btrfs_sync_log().
