btrfs: fix race with relocation recovery and fs_root setup
commit a9b3311e upstream. If we have to recover relocation during mount, we'll ultimately have to evict the orphan inode. That goes through the reservation dance, where priority_reclaim_metadata_space and flush_space expect fs_info->fs_root to be valid. That's the next thing to be set up during mount, so we crash, almost always in flush_space trying to join the transaction but priority_reclaim_metadata_space is possible as well. This call path has been problematic in the past WRT whether ->fs_root is valid yet. Commit 957780eb (Btrfs: introduce ticketed enospc infrastructure) added new users that are called in the direct path instead of the async path that had already been worked around. The thing is that we don't actually need the fs_root, specifically, for anything. We either use it to determine whether the root is the chunk_root for use in choosing an allocation profile or as a root to pass btrfs_join_transaction before immediately committing it. Anything that isn't the chunk root works in the former case and any root works in the latter. A simple fix is to use a root we know will always be there: the extent_root.
