[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 024/153] btrfs: make btrfs_discard_workfn() block_group ref explicit

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io>

[ Upstream commit 895c6721d310c036dcfebb5ab845822229fa35eb ]

Currently, the async discard machinery owns a ref to the block_group
when the block_group is queued on a discard list. However, to handle
races with discard cancellation and the discard workfn, we have a
specific logic to detect that the block_group is *currently* running in
the workfn, to protect the workfn's usage amidst cancellation.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't have any overt bugs (though
finish_discard_pass() and remove_from_discard_list() racing can have a
surprising outcome for the caller of remove_from_discard_list() in that
it is again added at the end).

But it is needlessly complicated to rely on locking and the nullity of
discard_ctl->block_group. Simplify this significantly by just taking a
refcount while we are in the workfn and unconditionally drop it in both
the remove and workfn paths, regardless of if they race.
