Btrfs: fix race between cleaner kthread and space cache writeout
When a block group becomes unused and the cleaner kthread is currently
running, we can end up getting the current transaction aborted with error
-ENOENT when we try to commit the transaction, leading to the following
trace:
[59779.258768] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 5990 at fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:3740 btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups+0x17c/0x214 [btrfs]()

The following diagram illustrates a sequence of steps leading to this
problem:
CPU 1 CPU 2
<at transaction N>
adds bg A to list
fs_info->unused_bgs
adds bg B to list
fs_info->unused_bgs
<transaction kthread
commits transaction N
and wakes up the
cleaner kthread>
cleaner kthread
delete_unused_bgs()
sees bg A in list
fs_info->unused_bgs
btrfs_start_transaction()
<transaction N + 1 starts>
deletes bg A
update_block_group(bg C)
--> adds bg C to list
fs_info->unused_bgs
deletes bg B
sees bg C in the list
fs_info->unused_bgs
btrfs_remove_chunk(bg C)
btrfs_remove_block_group(bg C)
--> checks if the block group
is in a dirty list, and
because it isn't now, it
does nothing
--> the block group item
is deleted from the
extent tree
--> adds bg C to list
transaction->dirty_bgs
some task calls
btrfs_commit_transaction(t N + 1)
commit_cowonly_roots()
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups()
--> sees bg C in cur_trans->dirty_bgs
--> calls write_one_cache_group()
which returns -ENOENT because
it did not find the block group
item in the extent tree
--> transaction aborte with -ENOENT
because write_one_cache_group()
returned that error
So fix this by adding a block group to the list of dirty block groups
before adding it to the list of unused block groups.
This happened on a stress test using fsstress plus concurrent calls to
fallocate 20G and truncate (releasing part of the space allocated with
fallocate).
