btrfs: remove obsolete delayed ref throttling logic when truncating items

We have this logic encapsulated in btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs()
where we try to estimate if running the current amount of delayed
references we have will take more than half a second, and if so, the
caller btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs() should do something to
prevent more and more delayed refs from being accumulated.

This logic was added in commit 0a2b2a844af6 ("Btrfs: throttle delayed
refs better") and then further refined in commit a79b7d4b3e81 ("Btrfs:
async delayed refs"). The idea back then was that the caller of
btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs() would release its transaction
handle (by calling btrfs_end_transaction()) when that function returned
true, then btrfs_end_transaction() would trigger an async job to run
delayed references in a workqueue, and later start/join a transaction
again and do more work.

However we don't run delayed references asynchronously anymore, that
was removed in commit db2462a6ad3d ("btrfs: don't run delayed refs in
the end transaction logic"). That makes the logic that tries to estimate
how long we will take to run our current delayed references, at
btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs(), pointless as we don't take any
action to run delayed references anymore. We do have other type of
throttling, which consists of checking the size and reserved space of
the delayed and global block reserves, as well as if fluhsing delayed
references for the current transaction was already started, etc - this
is all done by btrfs_should_end_transaction(), and the only user of
btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs() does periodically call
btrfs_should_end_transaction().

So remove btrfs_should_throttle_delayed_refs() and the infrastructure
that keeps track of the average time used for running delayed references,
as well as adapting btrfs_truncate_inode_items() to call
btrfs_check_space_for_delayed_refs() instead.
