commit fd57a98d6f0c98fa295813087f13afb26c224e73 upstream.
When we have smack enabled, during the creation of a directory smack may attempt to add a "smack transmute" xattr on the inode, which results in the following warning and trace:

This happens because at btrfs_mkdir() we call d_instantiate_new() while holding a transaction handle, which results in the following call chain:
btrfs_mkdir() trans = btrfs_start_transaction(root, 5);
d_instantiate_new() smack_d_instantiate() __vfs_setxattr() btrfs_setxattr_trans() btrfs_start_transaction() start_transaction() WARN_ON() --> a tansaction start has TRANS_EXTWRITERS set in its type h->orig_rsv = h->block_rsv h->block_rsv = NULL
btrfs_end_transaction(trans)
Besides the warning triggered at start_transaction, we set the handle's block_rsv to NULL which may cause some surprises later on.
So fix this by making btrfs_setxattr_trans() not start a transaction when we already have a handle on one, stored in current->journal_info, and use that handle. We are good to use the handle because at btrfs_mkdir() we did reserve space for the xattr and the inode item.
