[ Upstream commit a6d155d2e363f26290ffd50591169cb96c2a609e ]

Fixes: 03628cdbc64db6 ("Btrfs: do not start a transaction during fiemap")

The commit is a regression fix during the 5.2 cycle, how it could end up in a 4.19 stable candidate?

$ git describe 03628cdbc64db6 v5.1-rc7-201-g03628cdbc64d

$ git describe --contains 03628cdbc64db6 v5.2-rc1~163^2~26

And it does not belong to 5.2 either, git cherry-pick on top of 5.2 fails.

I think such sanity check can be done automatically so the patches don't accidentally land in trees where don't belong.
