Filipe Manana a6d8654d88 Btrfs: fix deadlock when using free space tree due to block group creation
When modifying the free space tree we can end up COWing one of its extent
buffers which in turn might result in allocating a new chunk, which in
turn can result in flushing (finish creation) of pending block groups. If
that happens we can deadlock because creating a pending block group needs
to update the free space tree, and if any of the updates tries to modify
the same extent buffer that we are COWing, we end up in a deadlock since
we try to write lock twice the same extent buffer.

So fix this by skipping pending block group creation if we are COWing an
extent buffer from the free space tree. This is a case missed by commit
5ce555578e ("Btrfs: fix deadlock when writing out free space caches").

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
