Btrfs: remove the block device pointer from the scrub context struct

The block device is removed from the scrub context state structure.
The scrub code as it is used for the device replace procedure reads
the source data from whereever it is optimal. The source device might
even be gone (disconnected, for instance due to a hardware failure).
Or the drive can be so faulty so that the device replace procedure
tries to avoid access to the faulty source drive as much as possible,
and only if all other mirrors are damaged, as a last resort, the
source disk is accessed.
The modified scrub code operates as if it would handle the source
drive and thereby generates an exact copy of the source disk on the
target disk, even if the source disk is not present at all. Therefore
the block device pointer to the source disk is removed in the scrub
context struct and moved into the lower level scope of scrub_bio,
fixup and page structures where the block device context is known.
