When a device is deleted the btrfs_super_block::number_devices is
reduced by 1, but since we are do that after the last commit transaction
for the device delete transaction, the update to
btrfs_super_block::number_devices waits for the next commit/fsync
transaction to make it to the disk.

This can be easily demonstrated using the following test case where I
use the btrfs device ready cli to read the and report, as it reads the
device directly (which is unnecessary for the mounted device) and checks
for the fs_devices::total_devices.

  mkfs.btrfs -fq -dsingle -msingle $dev1 $dev2
  mount $dev1 /btrfs
  btrfs dev del $dev2 /btrfs
  btrfs dev ready $dev1; echo RESULT=$? <-- 1
   Without this patch RESULT returns 1, indicating not ready!

 Same thing using seed device:

  mkfs.btrfs -fq $dev1
  btrfstune -S1 $dev1
  mount $dev1 /btrfs
  btrfs dev add -f $dev2 /btrfs
  umount /btrfs
  mount $dev2 /btrfs
  btrfs dev del $dev1 /btrfs
  btrfs dev ready $dev2; echo RESULT=$?

The seed device test case needs to fix the bug as in the patch,
 [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: fix parent in memory total_devices after seed delete

As there is a bug in the btrfs_device_rm() code,
