Subject: CVE-2022-49469: btrfs: fix anon_dev leak in create_subvol()

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

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

btrfs: fix anon_dev leak in create_subvol()

When btrfs_qgroup_inherit(), btrfs_alloc_tree_block, or
btrfs_insert_root() fail in create_subvol(), we return without freeing
anon_dev. Reorganize the error handling in create_subvol() to fix this.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49469 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:
