mainlining shenanigans
9fecd13202
When removing a block group, if we fail to delete the block group's item
from the extent tree, we jump to the 'out' label and end up decrementing
the block group's reference count once only (by 1), resulting in a counter
leak because the block group at that point was already removed from the
block group cache rbtree - so we have to decrement the reference count
twice, once for the rbtree and once for our lookup at the start of the
function.
There is a second bug where if removing the free space tree entries (the
call to remove_block_group_free_space()) fails we end up jumping to the
'out_put_group' label but end up decrementing the reference count only
once, when we should have done it twice, since we have already removed
the block group from the block group cache rbtree. This happens because
the reference count decrement for the rbtree reference happens after
attempting to remove the free space tree entries, which is far away from
the place where we remove the block group from the rbtree.
To make things less error prone, decrement the reference count for the
rbtree immediately after removing the block group from it. This also
eleminates the need for two different exit labels on error, renaming
'out_put_label' to just 'out' and removing the old 'out'.

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.
