btrfs: fix races on root_log_ctx lists
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642572 commit 570dd450 upstream. 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 cbd60aa7. 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().
