Subject: CVE-2024-26905: btrfs: fix data races when accessing the reserved amount of block reserves

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix data races when accessing the reserved amount of block reserves

At space_info.c we have several places where we access the ->reserved
field of a block reserve without taking the block reserve's spinlock
first, which makes KCSAN warn about a data race since that field is
always updated while holding the spinlock.

The reports from KCSAN are like the following:

  [117.193526] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in btrfs_block_rsv_release [btrfs] / need_preemptive_reclaim [btrfs]

So add a helper to get the reserved amount of a block reserve while
holding the lock. The value may be not be up to date anymore when used by
need_preemptive_reclaim() and btrfs_preempt_reclaim_metadata_space(), but
that's ok since the worst it can do is cause more reclaim work do be done
sooner rather than later. Reading the field while holding the lock instead
of using the data_race() annotation is used in order to prevent load
tearing.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26905 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
