Subject: [PATCH 5.10 079/105] btrfs: fix root ref counts in error handling in btrfs_get_root_ref

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@...il.com>

commit 168a2f776b9762f4021421008512dd7ab7474df1 upstream.

In btrfs_get_root_ref(), when btrfs_insert_fs_root() fails,
btrfs_put_root() can happen for two reasons:

- the root already exists in the tree, in that case it returns the
  reference obtained in btrfs_lookup_fs_root()

- another error so the cleanup is done in the fail label

Calling btrfs_put_root() unconditionally would lead to double decrement
of the root reference possibly freeing it in the second case.
