Filipe Manana 062c19e9dd Btrfs: fix race when reusing stale extent buffers that leads to BUG_ON
There's a race between releasing extent buffers that are flagged as stale
and recycling them that makes us it the following BUG_ON at
btrfs_release_extent_buffer_page:

    BUG_ON(extent_buffer_under_io(eb))

The BUG_ON is triggered because the extent buffer has the flag
EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY set as a consequence of having been reused and made
dirty by another concurrent task.

Here follows a sequence of steps that leads to the BUG_ON.

      CPU 0                                                    CPU 1                                                CPU 2

path->nodes[0] == eb X
X->refs == 2 (1 for the tree, 1 for the path)
btrfs_header_generation(X) == current trans id
flag EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY set on X

btrfs_release_path(path)
    unlocks X

                                                      reads eb X
                                                         X->refs incremented to 3
                                                      locks eb X

Fix this by making find_extent buffer wait for any ongoing task currently
executing free_extent_buffer()/free_extent_buffer_stale() if the extent
buffer has the stale flag set.
A more clean alternative would be to always increment the extent buffer's
reference count while holding its refs_lock spinlock but find_extent_buffer
is a performance critical area and that would cause lock contention whenever
multiple tasks search for the same extent buffer concurrently.

A build server running a SLES 12 kernel (3.12 kernel + over 450 upstream

I was also able to reproduce this on a 3.19 kernel, corresponding to Chris'
integration branch from about a month ago, running the following stress
test on a qemu/kvm guest (with 4 virtual cpus and 16Gb of ram):

  while true; do
     mkfs.btrfs -l 4096 -f -b `expr 20 \* 1024 \* 1024 \* 1024` /dev/sdd
     mount /dev/sdd /mnt
     snapshot_cmd="btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt"
     snapshot_cmd="$snapshot_cmd /mnt/snap_\`date +'%H_%M_%S_%N'\`"
     fsstress -d /mnt -n 25000 -p 8 -x "$snapshot_cmd" -X 100
     umount /mnt
  done

Which usually triggers the BUG_ON within less than 24 hours:
