Drop column family from write thread

Summary: If we drop column family only from (single) write thread, we can be sure that nobody will drop the column family while we're writing (and our mutex is released). This greatly simplifies my patch that's getting rid of MakeRoomForWrite().

Test Plan: make check, but also running stress test
