[ Upstream commit ebb70442cdd4872260c2415929c456be3562da82 ]

Xfstests btrfs/146 revealed this corruption,

It turns out that we could record btrfs_log_ctx:io_err in
log_one_extents when IO fails, but make log_one_extents() return '0'
instead of -EIO, so the IO error is not acknowledged by the callers,
i.e.  btrfs_log_inode_parent(), which would remove btrfs_log_ctx:list
from list head 'root->log_ctxs'.  Since btrfs_log_ctx is allocated
from stack memory, it'd get freed with a object alive on the
list. then a future list_add will throw the above warning.

This returns the correct error in the above case.

Jeff also reported this while testing against his fsync error
patch set[1].
