btrfs: Remove unnecessary check from join_running_log_trans

join_running_log_trans checks btrfs_root::log_root outside of
btrfs_root::log_mutex to avoid contention on the mutex. Turns out this
check is not necessary because the two callers of join_running_log_trans
(both of which deal with removing entries from the tree-log during
unlink) explicitly check whether the respective inode has been logged in
the current transaction.

If it hasn't then it won't have any items in the tree-log and call path
will return before calling join_running_log_trans. If the check passes,
however, then it's guaranteed that btrfs_root::log_root is set because
the inode is logged.

Those guarantees allows us to remove the speculative as well as the
implicity and tricky memory barrier.
