[PATCH 01/17] btrfs: drop path before adding new uuid tree entry

With the conversion to the rwsemaphore I got the following lockdep splat

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
btrfs-uuid/7955 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88bfbafec0f8 (btrfs-root-00){++++}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_tree_read_lock+0x39/0x180

but task is already holding lock:
ffff88bfbafef2a8 (btrfs-uuid-00){++++}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_tree_read_lock+0x39/0x180

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

This problem exists because we have two different rescan threads,
btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread which creates the uuid tree, and
btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate that goes through and updates or deletes any out
of date roots. The problem is they both do things in different order.
btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread() reads the tree_root, and then inserts entries
into the uuid_root. btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate() scans the uuid_root, but
then does a btrfs_get_fs_root() which can read from the tree_root.

It's actually easy enough to not be holding the path in
btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread() when we add a uuid entry, as we already drop
it further down and re-start the search when we loop. So simply move
the path release before we add our entry to the uuid tree.

This also fixes a problem where we're holding a path open after we do
btrfs_end_transaction(), which has it's own problems.
