In addition to Qu's comment about the double unlock, this is also a fix
for a recent patch that is not yet on Linus' tree:

    btrfs: simplify codeflow in btrfs_ioctl_balance

    (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20220330091407.1319454-4-nborisov@suse.com/)

Something usually worth mentioning, as we can't add a Fixes tag in this
case.

Thanks.
