btrfs: do not abort transaction on failure to write log tree when syncing log

When syncing the log, if we fail to write log tree extent buffers, we mark
the log for a full commit and abort the transaction. However we don't need
to abort the transaction, all we really need to do is to make sure no one
can commit a superblock pointing to new log tree roots. Just because we
got a failure writing extent buffers for a log tree, it does not mean we
will also fail to do a transaction commit.

One particular case is if due to a bug somewhere, when writing log tree
extent buffers, the tree checker detects some corruption and the writeout
fails because of that. Aborting the transaction can be very disruptive for
a user, specially if the issue happened on a root filesystem. One example
is the scenario in the Link tag below, where an isolated corruption on log
tree leaves was causing transaction aborts when syncing the log.
