[PATCH 1/2] btrfs: Remove superflous lock acquisition in __del_reloc_root

[Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@suse.com>]

__del_reloc_root is called from:

a) Transaction commit via:
btrfs_transaction_commit
 commit_fs_roots
  btrfs_update_reloc_root
   __del_reloc_root

b) From the relocation thread with the following call chains:

relocate_block_group
 merge_reloc_roots
  insert_dirty_subvol
   btrfs_update_reloc_root
    __del_reloc_root

c) merge_reloc_roots
    free_reloc_roots
     __del_reloc_roots

(The above call chain can called from btrfs_recover_relocation as well
but for the purpose of this fix this is irrelevant).

The commont data structure that needs protecting is
fs_info->reloc_ctl->reloc_list as reloc roots are anchored at this list.
Turns out it's no needed to hold the trans_lock in __del_reloc_root
since consistency is already guaranteed by call chain b) above holding
a transaction while calling insert_dirty_subvol, meaning we cannot have
a concurrent transaction commit. For call chain c) above a snapshot of
the fs_info->reloc_ctl->reloc_list is taken with reloc_mutex held and
free_reloc_roots is called on this local snapshot.

Those invariants are sufficient to prevent racing calls to
__del_reloc_root alongside other users of the list, as such it's fine
to drop the lock acquisition.
