Subject: [PATCH 3.16 005/127] Btrfs: dont do async reclaim during log replay

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

------------------

From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@...com>

commit f6acfd50110b335c7af636cf1fc8e55319cae5fc upstream.

Trying to reproduce a log enospc bug I hit a panic in the async reclaim code
during log replay.  This is because we use fs_info->fs_root as our root for
shrinking and such.  Technically we can use whatever root we want, but let's
just not allow async reclaim while we're doing log replay.  Thanks,
