Revert "btrfs: qgroups: Retry after commit on getting EDQUOT"

This reverts commit 48a89bc4f2ceab87bc858a8eb189636b09c846a7.

The idea to commit transaction and free some space after hitting qgroup
limit is good, although the problem is it can easily cause deadlocks.

One deadlock example is caused by trying to flush data while still
holding it:

Call Trace:
 __schedule+0x49d/0x10f0
 schedule+0xc6/0x290
 schedule_timeout+0x187/0x1c0
 wait_for_completion+0x204/0x3a0
 btrfs_wait_ordered_extents+0xa40/0xaf0 [btrfs]
 qgroup_reserve+0x913/0xa10 [btrfs]
 btrfs_qgroup_reserve_data+0x3ef/0x580 [btrfs]
 btrfs_check_data_free_space+0x96/0xd0 [btrfs]
 __btrfs_buffered_write+0x3ac/0xd40 [btrfs]
 btrfs_file_write_iter+0x62a/0xba0 [btrfs]
 __vfs_write+0x320/0x430
 vfs_write+0x107/0x270
 SyS_write+0xbf/0x150
 do_syscall_64+0x1b0/0x3d0
 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

Another can be caused by trying to commit one transaction while nesting
with trans handle held by ourselves:

btrfs_start_transaction()
|- btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta_pertrans()
   |- qgroup_reserve()
      |- btrfs_join_transaction()
      |- btrfs_commit_transaction()

The retry is causing more problems than exppected when limit is enabled.
At least a graceful EDQUOT is way better than deadlock.
