commit 168a2f776b9762f4021421008512dd7ab7474df1 upstream.

In btrfs_get_root_ref(), when btrfs_insert_fs_root() fails,
btrfs_put_root() can happen for two reasons:

- the root already exists in the tree, in that case it returns the
reference obtained in btrfs_lookup_fs_root()

- another error so the cleanup is done in the fail label

Calling btrfs_put_root() unconditionally would lead to double decrement
of the root reference possibly freeing it in the second case.
