mainlining shenanigans

In iterate_inode_exrefs the eb is cloned via btrfs_clone_extent_buffer which creates a private extent buffer with the dummy flag set and ref count of 1. Then this buffer is locked for reading and its ref count is incremented by 1. Finally it's fed to the passed iterate_irefs_t function. The actual iterate call back is inode_to_path (coming from paths_from_inode) which feeds the eb to btrfs_ref_to_path. In this final function the passed eb is only read by first assigning it to the local eb variable. This variable is only modified in the case another eb was referenced from the passed path that is eb != eb_in check triggers. Considering this there is no point in locking the cloned eb in iterate_inode_refs since it's never being modified and is not published anywhere. Furthermore the cloned eb is completely fine having its ref count be 1.

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.
