Subject: [PATCH v3] btrfs: add missing check after link_free_space

The return value of link_free_space is checked out-sync.
One branch of an if statement uses an extra check after
WARN_ON() but its peer branch does not. WARN_ON() does
not change the control flow, thus only using this check
might be insufficient.

Fix this by simply adding a check on ret.

The repeated kmem_cache_free branches have not been merged 
because this will influence the original control flow. If 
the control flow does not step into the if (ret) branch, 
then we actually need not to free memory again.
