btrfs: handle case when repair happens with dev-replace

[BUG]
There is a bug report that a BUG_ON() in btrfs_repair_io_failure()
(originally repair_io_failure() in v6.0 kernel) got triggered when
replacing a unreliable disk:

  BTRFS warning (device sda1): csum failed root 257 ino 2397453 off 39624704 csum 0xb0d18c75 expected csum 0x4dae9c5e mirror 3

[CAUSE]

Before the BUG_ON(), we got some read errors from the replace target
first, note the mirror number (3, which is beyond RAID1 duplication,
thus it's read from the replace target device).

Then at the BUG_ON() location, we are trying to writeback the repaired
sectors back the failed device.

The check looks like this:

		ret = btrfs_map_block(fs_info, BTRFS_MAP_WRITE, logical,
				      &map_length, &bioc, mirror_num);
		if (ret)
			goto out_counter_dec;
		BUG_ON(mirror_num != bioc->mirror_num);

But inside btrfs_map_block(), we can modify bioc->mirror_num especially
for dev-replace:

	if (dev_replace_is_ongoing && mirror_num == map->num_stripes + 1 &&
	    !need_full_stripe(op) && dev_replace->tgtdev != NULL) {
		ret = get_extra_mirror_from_replace(fs_info, logical, *length,
						    dev_replace->srcdev->devid,
						    &mirror_num,
					    &physical_to_patch_in_first_stripe);
		patch_the_first_stripe_for_dev_replace = 1;
	}

Thus if we're repairing the replace target device, we're going to
trigger that BUG_ON().

But in reality, the read failure from the replace target device may be
that, our replace hasn't reached the range we're reading, thus we're
reading garbage, but with replace running, the range would be properly
filled later.

Thus in that case, we don't need to do anything but let the replace
routine to handle it.

[FIX]
Instead of a BUG_ON(), just skip the repair if we're repairing the
device replace target device.
