Boris Burkov 12148367d7 btrfs: fix potential dead lock in size class loading logic
As reported by Filipe, there's a potential deadlock caused by
using btrfs_search_forward on commit_root. The locking there is
unconditional, even if ->skip_locking and ->search_commit_root is set.
It's not meant to be used for commit roots, so it always needs to do
locking.

So if another task is COWing a child node of the same root node and
then needs to wait for block group caching to complete when trying to
allocate a metadata extent, it deadlocks.

For example:

This needs to use regular btrfs_search_slot() with some skip and stop
logic.

Since we only consider five samples (five search slots), don't bother
with the complexity of looking for commit_root_sem contention. If
necessary, it can be added to the load function in between samples.

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.
