Btrfs: fix deadlock when throttling transactions
Hit this nice little deadlock. What happens is this
__btrfs_end_transaction with throttle set, --use_count so it equals 0
btrfs_commit_transaction
<somebody else actually manages to start the commit>
btrfs_end_transaction --use_count so now its -1 <== BAD
we just return and wait on the transaction
This is bad because we just return after our use_count is -1 and don't let go
of our num_writer count on the transaction, so the guy committing the
transaction just sits there forever. Fix this by inc'ing our use_count if we're
going to call commit_transaction so that if we call btrfs_end_transaction it's
valid. Thanks,
