Subject: [PATCH] fs: btrfs: block-group.c: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@...il.com>

The space_info list is rcu protected.
Hence, it should be traversed with rcu_read_lock held.

Warning:
[   29.104591] =============================

[   29.105401] fs/btrfs/block-group.c:2011 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
