This reverts commit 6f536ce7a978531d38a21d092394616cefb54436.

A mistake was made in the backport of "btrfs: reloc: fix reloc root leak and
NULL pointer dereference" to Bionic, and this commit reverts the changes, so we
can fix them in the next commit.

If you attempt to balance a btrfs filesystem where root nodes need to be
relocated, some root nodes were mistakenly freed with calls to
btrfs_put_fs_root(), which leads to a general protection fault when we try to
access those root nodes when we try and commit the balance transaction.

This results in the following stack trace:

Revert the changes, so we can apply the correct backport in the next patch.
