btrfs: fix return value check of btrfs_join_transaction()
The error check of btrfs_join_transaction()/btrfs_join_transaction_nolock()
is added, and the mistake of the error check in several places is
corrected.
For more stable Btrfs, I think that we should reduce BUG_ON().
But, I think that long time is necessary for this.
So, I propose this patch as a short-term solution.
With this patch:
- To more stable Btrfs, the part that should be corrected is clarified.
- The panic isn't done by the NULL pointer reference etc. (even if
BUG_ON() is increased temporarily)
- The error code is returned in the place where the error can be easily
returned.
As a long-term plan:
- BUG_ON() is reduced by using the forced-readonly framework, etc.
