Josef Bacik 7e2a870a59 btrfs: do not cleanup upper nodes in btrfs_backref_cleanup_node
Zygo reported the following panic when testing my error handling patches
for relocation:

This occurs because of this check

  if (RB_EMPTY_NODE(&upper->rb_node))
	  BUG_ON(!list_empty(&node->upper));

As we are dropping the backref node, if we discover that our upper node
in the edge we just cleaned up isn't linked into the cache that we are
now done with this node, thus the BUG_ON().

However this is an erroneous assumption, as we will look up all the
references for a node first, and then process the pending edges.  All of
the 'upper' nodes in our pending edges won't be in the cache's rb_tree
yet, because they haven't been processed.  We could very well have many
edges still left to cleanup on this node.

The fact is we simply do not need this check, we can just process all of
the edges only for this node, because below this check we do the
following

  if (list_empty(&upper->lower)) {
	  list_add_tail(&upper->lower, &cache->leaves);
	  upper->lowest = 1;
  }

If the upper node truly isn't used yet, then we add it to the
cache->leaves list to be cleaned up later.  If it is still used then the
last child node that has it linked into its node will add it to the
leaves list and then it will be cleaned up.

Fix this problem by dropping this logic altogether.  With this fix I no
longer see the panic when testing with error injection in the backref
code.

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.

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.
