Seems btrfs_file_write_iter() is also broken:

	if (iocb->ki_flags & IOCB_DIRECT) {
		num_written = __btrfs_direct_write(iocb, from);
	} else {
		num_written = btrfs_buffered_write(iocb, from);
		if (num_written > 0)
			iocb->ki_pos = pos + num_written;
		if (clean_page)
			pagecache_isize_extended(inode, oldsize,
						i_size_read(inode));
	}

	inode_unlock(inode);

But if __btrfs_direct_write() returned -EIOCBQUEUED then inode may have been
deallocated by the point it's calling inode_unlock().  Holding the lock is not
a preventative measure that I can see.
