All of our inode creation code paths duplicate the calls to btrfs_init_inode_security() and btrfs_add_link(). Subvolume creation additionally duplicates property inheritance and the call to btrfs_set_inode_index(). Fix this by moving the common code into btrfs_create_new_inode(). This accomplishes a few things at once: 1. It reduces code duplication. 2. It allows us to set up the inode completely before inserting the inode item, removing calls to btrfs_update_inode(). 3. It fixes a leak of an inode on disk in some error cases. For example, in btrfs_create(), if btrfs_new_inode() succeeds, then we have inserted an inode item and its inode ref. However, if something after that fails (e.g., btrfs_init_inode_security()), then we end the transaction and then decrement the link count on the inode. If the transaction is committed and the system crashes before the failed inode is deleted, then we leak that inode on disk. Instead, this refactoring aborts the transaction when we can't recover more gracefully. 4. It exposes various ways that subvolume creation diverges from mkdir in terms of inheriting flags, properties, permissions, and POSIX ACLs, a lot of which appears to be accidental. This patch explicitly does _not_ change the existing non-standard behavior, but it makes those differences more clear in the code and documents them so that we can discuss whether they should be changed.

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.
