Subject: [PATCH 3.12 15/98] Btrfs: skip locking when searching commit root

From: Wang Shilong <wangsl.fnst@...fujitsu.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit e84752d434b5cca0869e906e7b94d0531b25c6d3 upstream.

We won't change commit root, skip locking dance with commit root
when walking backrefs, this can speed up btrfs send operations.
