    It turns out that we could record btrfs_log_ctx:io_err in
    log_one_extents when IO fails, but make log_one_extents() return '0'
    instead of -EIO, so the IO error is not acknowledged by the callers,
    i.e.  btrfs_log_inode_parent(), which would remove btrfs_log_ctx:list
    from list head 'root->log_ctxs'.  Since btrfs_log_ctx is allocated
    from stack memory, it'd get freed with a object alive on the
    list. then a future list_add will throw the above warning.
    
    This returns the correct error in the above case.
    
    Jeff also reported this while testing against his fsync error
    patch set[1].
