H A Dtransaction.cce8ea7cc Thu Oct 19 13:16:01 CDT 2017 Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> btrfs: don't call btrfs_start_delalloc_roots in flushoncommit

We're holding the sb_start_intwrite lock at this point, and doing async
filemap_flush of the inodes will result in a deadlock if we freeze the
fs during this operation. This is because we could do a
btrfs_join_transaction() in the thread we are waiting on which would
block at sb_start_intwrite, and thus deadlock. Using
writeback_inodes_sb() side steps the problem by not introducing all of
these extra locking dependencies.
