If we grab a block group, for example in btrfs_trim_fs(), we will be holding
a reference on it but the block group can be removed after we got it (via
btrfs_remove_block_group), which means it will no longer be part of the
rbtree.

However, btrfs_remove_block_group() was only calling rb_erase() which leaves
the block group's rb_node left and right child pointers with the same content
they had before calling rb_erase. This was dangerous because a call to
next_block_group() would access the node's left and right child pointers (via
rb_next), which can be no longer valid.

Fix this by clearing a block group's node after removing it from the tree,
and have next_block_group() do a tree search to get the next block group
instead of using rb_next() if our block group was removed.
