commit 9771a5cf937129307d9f58922d60484d58ababe7 upstream.
With the conversion of the tree locks to rwsem I got the following lockdep splat:
====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.8.0-rc7-00167-g0d7ba0c5b375-dirty #925 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ btrfs-uuid/7955 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88bfbafec0f8 (btrfs-root-00){++++}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_tree_read_lock+0x39/0x180
but task is already holding lock: ffff88bfbafef2a8 (btrfs-uuid-00){++++}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_tree_read_lock+0x39/0x180
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

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

This problem exists because we have two different rescan threads, btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread which creates the uuid tree, and btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate that goes through and updates or deletes any out of date roots. The problem is they both do things in different order. btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread() reads the tree_root, and then inserts entries into the uuid_root. btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate() scans the uuid_root, but then does a btrfs_get_fs_root() which can read from the tree_root.
It's actually easy enough to not be holding the path in btrfs_uuid_scan_kthread() when we add a uuid entry, as we already drop it further down and re-start the search when we loop. So simply move the path release before we add our entry to the uuid tree.
This also fixes a problem where we're holding a path open after we do btrfs_end_transaction(), which has it's own problems.
