btrfs: remove device item and update super block in the same transaction

[BUG]
There is a report that a btrfs has a bad super block num devices.

This makes btrfs to reject the fs completely.

  BTRFS error (device sdd3): super_num_devices 3 mismatch with num_devices 2 found here
  BTRFS error (device sdd3): failed to read chunk tree: -22
  BTRFS error (device sdd3): open_ctree failed

[CAUSE]
During btrfs device removal, chunk tree and super block num devs are
updated in two different transactions:

  btrfs_rm_device()
  |- btrfs_rm_dev_item(device)
  |  |- trans = btrfs_start_transaction()
  |  |  Now we got transaction X
  |  |
  |  |- btrfs_del_item()
  |  |  Now device item is removed from chunk tree
  |  |
  |  |- btrfs_commit_transaction()
  |     Transaction X got committed, super num devs untouched,
  |     but device item removed from chunk tree.
  |     (AKA, super num devs is already incorrect)
  |
  |- cur_devices->num_devices--;
  |- cur_devices->total_devices--;
  |- btrfs_set_super_num_devices()
     All those operations are not in transaction X, thus it will
     only be written back to disk in next transaction.

So after the transaction X in btrfs_rm_dev_item() committed, but before
transaction X+1 (which can be minutes away), a power loss happen, then
we got the super num mismatch.

[FIX]
Instead of starting and committing a transaction inside
btrfs_rm_dev_item(), start a transaction in side btrfs_rm_device() and
pass it to btrfs_rm_dev_item().

And only commit the transaction after everything is done.
