Subject: btrfs: fix lockdep warning with reclaim lock inversion
From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>

When encountering memory pressure, testers have run into the following
lockdep warning. It was caused by __link_block_group calling kobject_add
with the groups_sem held. kobject_add calls kvasprintf with GFP_KERNEL,
which gets us into reclaim context. The kobject doesn't actually need
to be added under the lock -- it just needs to ensure that it's only
added for the first block group to be linked.


=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
3.14.0-rc8-default #1 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/169 just changed the state of lock:
 (&delayed_node->mutex){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffffa018baea>] __btrfs_release_delayed_node+0x3a/0x200 [btrfs]
but this lock took another, RECLAIM_FS-unsafe lock in the past:
 (&found->groups_sem){+++++.}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
       CPU0                    CPU1

  lock(&found->groups_sem);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&delayed_node->mutex);
                               lock(&found->groups_sem);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&delayed_node->mutex);
