Btrfs: fix deadlock when throttling transactions
Hit this nice little deadlock. What happens is this __btrfs_end_transaction with throttle set, --use_count so it equals 0 btrfs_commit_transaction <somebody else actually manages to start the commit> btrfs_end_transaction --use_count so now its -1 <== BAD we just return and wait on the transaction This is bad because we just return after our use_count is -1 and don't let go of our num_writer count on the transaction, so the guy committing the transaction just sits there forever. Fix this by inc'ing our use_count if we're going to call commit_transaction so that if we call btrfs_end_transaction it's valid.
