Remove the attempt to cancel a running scrub or device replace operation in btrfs_handle_error() because it adds the risk of a deadlock. The only penalty of not canceling the operation is that some I/O remains active until the procedure completes. This is basically the same thing that happens to other tasks that are running in user mode context, they are not affected or stopped in btrfs_handle_error(), these tasks just need to handle write errors correctly.
