btrfs: determine synchronous writers from bio or writeback control

The writeback_control structure already passes down the information about
a writeback being synchronous from the core VM code, and thus information
is propagated into the bio REQ_SYNC flag through the wbc_to_write_flags
helper.

Use that information to decide if checksums calculation is offloaded to
a workqueue instead of btrfs_inode::sync_writers field that not only
bloats the inode but also has too wide scope, being inode wide instead
of limited to the actual writeback request.

The sync writes were set in:

- btrfs_do_write_iter - regular IO, sync status is set
- start_ordered_ops - ordered write start, writeback with WB_SYNC_ALL
  mode
- btrfs_write_marked_extents - write marked extents, writeback with
  WB_SYNC_ALL mode
