Btrfs: Use btrfs_join_transaction to avoid deadlocks during snapshot creation
Snapshot creation happens at a specific time during transaction commit. We need to make sure the code called by snapshot creation doesn't wait for the running transaction to commit. This changes btrfs_delete_inode and finish_pending_snaps to use btrfs_join_transaction instead of btrfs_start_transaction to avoid deadlocks. It would be better if btrfs_delete_inode didn't use the join, but the call path that triggers it is: btrfs_commit_transaction->create_pending_snapshots-> create_pending_snapshot->btrfs_lookup_dentry-> fixup_tree_root_location->btrfs_read_fs_root-> btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name->btrfs_orphan_cleanup->iput This will be fixed in a later patch by moving the orphan cleanup to the cleaner thread.
