Btrfs: remove scrub_super_lock holding in btrfs_sync_log()
Originally, we introduced scrub_super_lock to synchronize tree log code with scrubbing super. However we can replace scrub_super_lock with device_list_mutex, because writing super will hold this mutex, this will reduce an extra lock holding when writing supers in sync log code.
