At btrfs_copy_root(), if the call to btrfs_inc_ref() fails we end up returning without unlocking and releasing our reference on the extent buffer named "cow" we previously allocated with btrfs_alloc_tree_block().
So fix that by unlocking the extent buffer and dropping our reference on it before returning.
