Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 075/251] Btrfs: don't invalidate root dentry when subvolume deletion fails

3.19.8-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@...ndov.com>

commit 64ad6c488975d7516230cf7849190a991fd615ae upstream.

Since commit bafc9b754f75 ("vfs: More precise tests in d_invalidate"),
mounted subvolumes can be deleted because d_invalidate() won't fail.
However, we run into problems when we attempt to delete the default
subvolume while it is mounted as the root filesystem:

	# btrfs subvol list /
	ID 257 gen 306 top level 5 path rootvol
	ID 267 gen 334 top level 5 path snap1
	# btrfs subvol get-default /
	ID 267 gen 334 top level 5 path snap1
	# btrfs inspect-internal rootid /
	267
	# mount -o subvol=/ /dev/vda1 /mnt
	# btrfs subvol del /mnt/snap1
	Delete subvolume (no-commit): '/mnt/snap1'
	ERROR: cannot delete '/mnt/snap1' - Operation not permitted
	# findmnt /
	findmnt: can't read /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
	# ls /proc
	#

Markus reported that this same scenario simply led to a kernel oops.

This happens because in btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy(), we call
d_invalidate() before we check may_destroy_subvol(), which means that we
detach the submounts and drop the dentry before erroring out. Instead,
we should only invalidate the dentry once the deletion has succeeded.
Additionally, the shrink_dcache_sb() isn't necessary; d_invalidate()
will prune the dcache for the deleted subvolume.
