commit 2cc8334270e281815c3850c3adea363c51f21e0d upstream.
When Filipe added the recursive directory logging stuff in 2f2ff0ee5e430 ("Btrfs: fix metadata inconsistencies after directory fsync") he specifically didn't take the directory i_mutex for the children directories that we need to log because of lockdep. This is generally fine, but can lead to this WARN_ON() tripping if we happen to run delayed deletion's in between our first search and our second search of dir_item/dir_indexes for this directory. We expect this to happen, so the WARN_ON() isn't necessary. Drop the WARN_ON() and add a comment so we know why this case can happen.
