This head already includes the latest v5 update, so it's not a goode 
news to me.

If syzbot can provide a better line number for inlined function, it will 
be very helpful.

But so far it looks that btrfs_open_devices() failed, thus 
deactive_locked_super() is called to free the whole fs_devices.

However since btrfs_open_fs_devices() failed, we are not holding the 
fs_devices opened, and after we release uuid_mutex, the fs_devices can 
be freed by someone else.

I believe we need extra error handling for this particular case.

Thanks a lot for catching this rare error path.

Thanks,
Qu
