Filipe Manana e06cc89475 btrfs: fix data races when accessing the reserved amount of block reserves
At space_info.c we have several places where we access the ->reserved
field of a block reserve without taking the block reserve's spinlock
first, which makes KCSAN warn about a data race since that field is
always updated while holding the spinlock.

The reports from KCSAN are like the following:

  [117.193526] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in btrfs_block_rsv_release [btrfs] / need_preemptive_reclaim [btrfs]

  [117.207861]  ret_from_fork+0xa/0x30

So add a helper to get the reserved amount of a block reserve while
holding the lock. The value may be not be up to date anymore when used by
need_preemptive_reclaim() and btrfs_preempt_reclaim_metadata_space(), but
that's ok since the worst it can do is cause more reclaim work do be done
sooner rather than later. Reading the field while holding the lock instead
of using the data_race() annotation is used in order to prevent load
tearing.

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.
