btrfs: fix racy access to discard_ctl data
Because only one discard worker may be running at any given point, it could have been safe to modify ->prev_discard, etc. without synchronization, if not for @override flag in btrfs_discard_schedule_work() and delayed_work_pending() returning false while workfn is running. That may lead to torn reads of u64 for some architectures, but that's not a big problem as only slightly affects the discard rate.
