      Btrfs: fix deadlock with nested trans handles · 3bbb24b2
      Josef Bacik authored
      Zach found this deadlock that would happen like this
      
      btrfs_end_transaction <- reduce trans->use_count to 0
        btrfs_run_delayed_refs
          btrfs_cow_block
            find_free_extent
      	btrfs_start_transaction <- increase trans->use_count to 1
                allocate chunk
      	btrfs_end_transaction <- decrease trans->use_count to 0
      	  btrfs_run_delayed_refs
      	    lock tree block we are cowing above ^^
      
      We need to only decrease trans->use_count if it is above 1, otherwise leave it
      alone.  This will make nested trans be the only ones who decrease their added
      ref, and will let us get rid of the trans->use_count++ hack if we have to commit
      the transaction.  Thanks,
