Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: call __btrfs_remove_free_space_cache_locked on cache load failure

Now that lockdep is staying enabled through our entire CI runs I started seeing the following stack in generic/475

This is the code

ctl = block_group->free_space_ctl; discard_ctl = &block_group->fs_info->discard_ctl;

lockdep_assert_held(&ctl->tree_lock);

We have a temporary free space ctl for loading the free space cache in order to avoid having allocations happening while we're loading the cache. When we hit an error we free it all up, however this also calls btrfs_discard_update_discardable, which requires block_group->free_space_ctl->tree_lock to be held. However this is our temporary ctl so this lock isn't held. Fix this by calling __btrfs_remove_free_space_cache_locked instead so that we only clean up the entries and do not mess with the discardable stats.
