Remove periodic logging of in-core superblock counters.
xfssyncd triggers the logging of superblock counters every
30s if the filesystem is made with lazy-count=1. This will
prevent disks from idling and spinning down as there will
be a log write every 30s. With the way counter recovery
works for lazy-count=1, this code is unnecessary and provides
no real benefit, so just remove it.
I'm happy with this (xfs_initialize_perag_data() does the
global counter recovery during mount).
