[PATCH] fs: btrfs: fix possible use-after-free bug in error handling code of btrfs_get_root_ref()

In btrfs_get_root_ref(), when btrfs_insert_fs_root() fails,
btrfs_put_root() will be called to possibly free the memory area of
the variable root. However, this variable is then used again in error
handling code after "goto fail", when ret is not -EEXIST.

To fix this possible bug, btrfs_put_root() is only called when ret is
-EEXIST for "goto again".
