Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix the inode leak in btrfs_iget()
[BUG]
There is a bug report that a syzbot reproducer can lead to the following
busy inode at unmount time:
BTRFS info (device loop1): last unmount of filesystem 1680000e-3c1e-4c46-84b6-56bd3909af50
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of loop1 (btrfs)

</TASK>
[CAUSE]
When btrfs_alloc_path() failed, btrfs_iget() directly returned without
releasing the inode already allocated by btrfs_iget_locked().
This results the above busy inode and trigger the kernel BUG.
[FIX]
Fix it by calling iget_failed() if btrfs_alloc_path() failed.
If we hit error inside btrfs_read_locked_inode(), it will properly call
iget_failed(), so nothing to worry about.
Although the iget_failed() cleanup inside btrfs_read_locked_inode() is a
break of the normal error handling scheme, let's fix the obvious bug
and backport first, then rework the error handling later.
