btrfs: fix use-after-free on reloc root after error in insert_dirty_subvol()

If during relocation we fail in insert_dirty_subvol() because
btrfs_update_reloc_root() returned an error, we will leave a root's
reloc_root field pointing to a reloc root that was freed instead of NULL,
resulting later in a use-after-free, or double free attempt during
unmount.

The sequence of steps is this:

1) During relocation the call to btrfs_update_reloc_root() in
   insert_dirty_subvol() fails, so insert_dirty_subvol() returns the
   error to merge_reloc_root() without adding the root to the list
   rc->dirty_subvol_roots;

2) Then merge_reloc_root() aborts the current transaction because
   insert_dirty_subvol() returned an error;

3) Up the call chain, merge_reloc_roots() gets the error, adds the
   reloc root for root X to the local reloc_roots list and jumps to the
   'out' label, where it calls free_reloc_roots() to free all the reloc
   roots in the local reloc_roots list. This frees the reloc root for
   root X;

4) We go up the call chain to relocate_block_group() which calls
   clean_dirty_subvols() to go over dirty roots and set their
   ->reloc_root field to NULL, but root X is not in the dirty_subvol_roots
   list, so its ->reloc_root still points to a reloc root;

5) Relocation finishes, with an error and a transaction abort, but the
   ->reloc_root field for root X still points to the reloc root that was
   freed in step 3;

6) When unmounting the fs we end up calling:

     btrfs_free_fs_roots()
        btrfs_drop_and_free_fs_root()
           --> calls btrfs_put_root() against root X's ->reloc_root
               which is not NULL and points to the already freed
               reloc root in step 4 above

  Resulting in a use-after-free to a double free attempt.
