[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 49/62] btrfs: release path before starting transaction when cloning inline extent

[ Upstream commit 6416954ca75baed71640bf3828625bf165fb9b5e ]

When cloning an inline extent there are a few cases, such as when we have
an implicit hole at file offset 0, where we start a transaction while
holding a read lock on a leaf. Starting the transaction results in a call
to sb_start_intwrite(), which results in doing a read lock on a percpu
semaphore. Lockdep doesn't like this and complains about it:

This should be a false positive, as both locks are acquired in read mode.
Nevertheless, we don't need to hold a leaf locked when we start the
transaction, so just release the leaf (path) before starting it.
