btrfs: do not call synchronize_srcu() in inode_tree_del

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858462

[ Upstream commit f72ff01d ]

Testing with the new fsstress uncovered a pretty nasty deadlock with
lookup and snapshot deletion.

Process A
unlink
 -> final iput
   -> inode_tree_del
     -> synchronize_srcu(subvol_srcu)

Process B
btrfs_lookup  <- srcu_read_lock() acquired here
  -> btrfs_iget
    -> find inode that has I_FREEING set
      -> __wait_on_freeing_inode()

We're holding the srcu_read_lock() while doing the iget in order to make
sure our fs root doesn't go away, and then we are waiting for the inode
to finish freeing.  However because the free'ing process is doing a
synchronize_srcu() we deadlock.

Fix this by dropping the synchronize_srcu() in inode_tree_del().  We
don't need people to stop accessing the fs root at this point, we're
only adding our empty root to the dead roots list.

A larger much more invasive fix is forthcoming to address how we deal
with fs roots, but this fixes the immediate problem.
