Btrfs: fix race between caching kthread and returning inode to inode cache
While the inode cache caching kthread is calling btrfs_unpin_free_ino(),
we could have a concurrent call to btrfs_return_ino() that adds a new
entry to the root's free space cache of pinned inodes. This concurrent
call does not acquire the fs_info->commit_root_sem before adding a new
entry if the caching state is BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED, which is a problem
because the caching kthread calls btrfs_unpin_free_ino() after setting
the caching state to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED and therefore races with
the task calling btrfs_return_ino(), which is adding a new entry, while
the former (caching kthread) is navigating the cache's rbtree, removing
and freeing nodes from the cache's rbtree without acquiring the spinlock
that protects the rbtree.
This race resulted in memory corruption due to double free of struct
btrfs_free_space objects because both tasks can end up doing freeing the
same objects. Note that adding a new entry can result in merging it with
other entries in the cache, in which case those entries are freed.
This is particularly important as btrfs_free_space structures are also
used for the block group free space caches.
This memory corruption can be detected by a debugging kernel, which
reports it with the following trace:

[132409.504241] kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2571!
Therefore fix this by having btrfs_unpin_free_ino() acquire the lock
that protects the rbtree while doing the searches and removing entries.
