Btrfs: fix panic when trying to destroy a newly allocated
There is a problem where iget5_locked will look for an inode, not find it, and
then subsequently try to allocate it. Another CPU will have raced in and
allocated the inode instead, so when iget5_locked gets the inode spin lock again
and does a search, it finds the new inode. So it goes ahead and calls
destroy_inode on the inode it just allocated. The problem is we don't set
BTRFS_I(inode)->root until the new inode is completely initialized. This patch
makes us set root to NULL when alloc'ing a new inode, so when we get to
btrfs_destroy_inode and we see that root is NULL we can just free up the memory
and continue on. This fixes the panic
