Filipe Manana 5ce555578e Btrfs: fix deadlock when writing out free space caches 
When writing out a block group free space cache we can end deadlocking
with ourselves on an extent buffer lock resulting in a warning like the
following:

This is because at write_one_cache_group() when we are COWing a leaf from
the extent tree we end up allocating a new block group (chunk) and,
because we have hit a threshold on the number of bytes reserved for system
chunks, we attempt to finalize the creation of new block groups from the
current transaction, by calling btrfs_create_pending_block_groups().
However here we also need to modify the extent tree in order to insert
a block group item, and if the location for this new block group item
happens to be in the same leaf that we were COWing earlier, we deadlock
since btrfs_search_slot() tries to write lock the extent buffer that we
locked before at write_one_cache_group().

We have already hit similar cases in the past and commit d9a0540a79
("Btrfs: fix deadlock when finalizing block group creation") fixed some
of those cases by delaying the creation of pending block groups at the
known specific spots that could lead to a deadlock. This change reworks
that commit to be more generic so that we don't have to add similar logic
to every possible path that can lead to a deadlock. This is done by
making __btrfs_cow_block() disallowing the creation of new block groups
(setting the transaction's can_flush_pending_bgs to false) before it
attempts to allocate a new extent buffer for either the extent, chunk or
device trees, since those are the trees that pending block creation
modifies. Once the new extent buffer is allocated, it allows creation of
pending block groups to happen again.

This change depends on a recent patch from Josef which is not yet in
Linus' tree, named "btrfs: make sure we create all new block groups" in
order to avoid occasional warnings at btrfs_trans_release_chunk_metadata().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
