Filipe Manana 232796df8c btrfs: fix deadlock between quota enable and other quota operations
When enabling quotas, we attempt to commit a transaction while holding the
mutex fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock. This can result on a deadlock with other
quota operations such as:

- qgroup creation and deletion, ioctl BTRFS_IOC_QGROUP_CREATE;

- adding and removing qgroup relations, ioctl BTRFS_IOC_QGROUP_ASSIGN.

This is because these operations join a transaction and after that they
attempt to lock the mutex fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock. Acquiring that mutex
after joining or starting a transaction is a pattern followed everywhere
in qgroups, so the quota enablement operation is the one at fault here,
and should not commit a transaction while holding that mutex.

Fix this by making the transaction commit while not holding the mutex.
We are safe from two concurrent tasks trying to enable quotas because
we are serialized by the rw semaphore fs_info->subvol_sem at
btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl(), which is the only call site for enabling
quotas.

When this deadlock happens, it produces a trace like the following:

  INFO: task syz-executor:25604 blocked for more than 143 seconds.

  "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

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.
