While testing the error paths of relocation I hit the following lockdep splat:
====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.10.0-rc6+ #217 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ mount/779 is trying to acquire lock: ffffa0e676945418 (&fs_info->balance_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: btrfs_recover_balance+0x2f0/0x340
but task is already holding lock: ffffa0e60ee31da8 (btrfs-root-00){++++}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_tree_read_lock+0x27/0x100
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of: &fs_info->balance_mutex --> sb_internal#2 --> btrfs-root-00
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(btrfs-root-00); lock(sb_internal#2); lock(btrfs-root-00); lock(&fs_info->balance_mutex);

This is straightforward to fix, simply release the path before we setup the balance_ctl.
