Btrfs: fix file/data loss caused by fsync after rename and new inode
If we rename an inode A (be it a file or a directory), create a new
inode B with the old name of inode A and under the same parent directory,
fsync inode B and then power fail, at log tree replay time we end up
removing inode A completely. If inode A is a directory then all its files
are gone too.
Example scenarios where this happens:
This is reproducible with the following steps, taken from a couple of
test cases written for fstests which are going to be submitted upstream
soon:
# Scenario 1
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
mount /dev/sdc /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/a/x
echo "hello" > /mnt/a/x/foo
echo "world" > /mnt/a/x/bar
sync
mv /mnt/a/x /mnt/a/y
mkdir /mnt/a/x
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/a/x
<power failure happens>
The next time the fs is mounted, log tree replay happens and
the directory "y" does not exist nor do the files "foo" and
"bar" exist anywhere (neither in "y" nor in "x", nor the root
nor anywhere).
# Scenario 2
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
mount /dev/sdc /mnt
mkdir /mnt/a
echo "hello" > /mnt/a/foo
sync
mv /mnt/a/foo /mnt/a/bar
echo "world" > /mnt/a/foo
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/a/foo
<power failure happens>
The next time the fs is mounted, log tree replay happens and the
file "bar" does not exists anymore. A file with the name "foo"
exists and it matches the second file we created.
Another related problem that does not involve file/data loss is when a
new inode is created with the name of a deleted snapshot and we fsync it:
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
mount /dev/sdc /mnt
mkdir /mnt/testdir
btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt /mnt/testdir/snap
btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/testdir/snap
rmdir /mnt/testdir
mkdir /mnt/testdir
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/testdir # or fsync some file inside /mnt/testdir
<power failure>
The next time the fs is mounted the log replay procedure fails because
it attempts to delete the snapshot entry (which has dir item key type
of BTRFS_ROOT_ITEM_KEY) as if it were a regular (non-root) entry,
resulting in the following error that causes mount to fail:

Fix this by forcing a transaction commit when such cases happen.
This means we check in the commit root of the subvolume tree if there
was any other inode with the same reference when the inode we are
fsync'ing is a new inode (created in the current transaction).
Test cases for fstests, covering all the scenarios given above, were
submitted upstream for fstests:
* fstests: generic test for fsync after renaming directory
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8694281/
* fstests: generic test for fsync after renaming file
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8694301/
* fstests: add btrfs test for fsync after snapshot deletion
