[ Upstream commit 4222ea7100 ]
When we are writing out a free space cache, during the transaction commit
phase, we can end up in a deadlock which results in a stack trace like the
following:

At cache_save_setup() we need to update the inode item of a block group's
cache which is located in the tree root (fs_info->tree_root), which means
that it may result in COWing a leaf from that tree. If that happens we
need to find a free metadata extent and while looking for one, if we find
a block group which was not cached yet we attempt to load its cache by
calling cache_block_group(). However this function will try to load the
inode of the free space cache, which requires finding the matching inode
item in the tree root - if that inode item is located in the same leaf as
the inode item of the space cache we are updating at cache_save_setup(),
we end up in a deadlock, since we try to obtain a read lock on the same
extent buffer that we previously write locked.
So fix this by using the tree root's commit root when searching for a
block group's free space cache inode item when we are attempting to load
a free space cache. This is safe since block groups once loaded stay in
memory forever, as well as their caches, so after they are first loaded
we will never need to read their inode items again. For new block groups,
once they are created they get their ->cached field set to
BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED meaning we will not need to read their inode item.
