xfs: fix transaction leak in xfs_reflink_allocate_cow()
When xfs_reflink_allocate_cow() allocates a transaction, it drops
the ILOCK to perform the operation. This Introduces a race condition
where another thread modifying the file can perform the COW
allocation operation underneath us. This result in the retry loop
finding an allocated block and jumping straight to the conversion
code. It does not, however, cancel the transaction it holds and so
this gets leaked. This results in a lockdep warning:
================================================
WARNING: lock held when returning to user space!
4.18.5 #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------
worker/6123 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by worker/6123:
#0: 000000009eab4f1b (sb_internal#2){.+.+}, at: xfs_trans_alloc+0x17c/0x220
And eventually the filesystem deadlocks because it runs out of log
space that is reserved by the leaked transaction and never gets
released.
The logic flow in xfs_reflink_allocate_cow() is a convoluted mess of
gotos - it's no surprise that it has bug where the flow through
several goto jumps then fails to clean up context from a non-obvious
logic path. CLean up the logic flow and make sure every path does
the right thing.
