btrfs: join running log transaction when logging new name
When logging a new name, in case of a rename, we pin the log before changing it. We then either delete a directory entry from the log or insert a key range item to mark the old name for deletion on log replay. However when doing one of those log changes we may have another task that started writing out the log (at btrfs_sync_log()) and it started before we pinned the log root. So we may end up changing a log tree while its writeback is being started by another task syncing the log. This can lead to inconsistencies in a log tree and other unexpected results during log replay, because we can get some committed node pointing to a node/leaf that ends up not getting written to disk before the next log commit. The problem, conceptually, started to happen in commit 88d2beec ("btrfs: avoid logging all directory changes during renames"), because there we started to update the log without joining its current transaction first. However the problem only became visible with commit 259c4b96 ("btrfs: stop doing unnecessary log updates during a rename"), and that is because we used to pin the log at btrfs_rename() and then before entering btrfs_log_new_name(), when unlinking the old dentry, we ended up at btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log() and btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log(). Both of them join the current log transaction, effectively waiting for any log transaction writeout (due to acquiring the root's log_mutex). This made it safe even after leaving the current log transaction, because we remained with the log pinned when we called btrfs_log_new_name(). Then in commit 259c4b96 ("btrfs: stop doing unnecessary log updates during a rename"), we removed the log pinning from btrfs_rename() and stopped calling btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log() and btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log() during the rename, and started to do all the needed work at btrfs_log_new_name(), but without joining the current log transaction, only pinning the log, which is racy because another task may have started writeout of the log tree right before we pinned the log. Both commits landed in kernel 5.18, so it doesn't make any practical difference which should be blamed, but I'm blaming the second commit only because with the first one, by chance, the problem did not happen due to the fact we joined the log transaction after pinning the log and unpinned it only after calling btrfs_log_new_name(). So make btrfs_log_new_name() join the current log transaction instead of pinning it, so that we never do log updates if it's writeout is starting.
