commit 061dde8245356d8864d29e25207aa4daa0be4d3c upstream.
There is a race between a task aborting a transaction during a commit, a task doing an fsync and the transaction kthread, which leads to an use-after-free of the log root tree. When this happens, it results in a stack trace like the following:
BTRFS info (device dm-0): forced readonly BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.

The steps that lead to this crash are the following:
1) We are at transaction N;
2) We have two tasks with a transaction handle attached to transaction N. Task A and Task B. Task B is doing an fsync;
3) Task B is at btrfs_sync_log(), and has saved fs_info->log_root_tree into a local variable named 'log_root_tree' at the top of btrfs_sync_log(). Task B is about to call write_all_supers(), but before that...
4) Task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), and after it sets the transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, an error happens before it waits for the transaction's 'num_writers' counter to reach a value of 1 (no one else attached to the transaction), so it jumps to the label "cleanup_transaction";
5) Task A then calls cleanup_transaction(), where it aborts the transaction, setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_TRANS_ABORTED on fs_info->fs_state, setting the ->aborted field of the transaction and the handle to an errno value and also setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR on fs_info->fs_state.
After that, at cleanup_transaction(), it deletes the transaction from the list of transactions (fs_info->trans_list), sets the transaction to the state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING and then waits for the number of writers to go down to 1, as it's currently 2 (1 for task A and 1 for task B);
6) The transaction kthread is running and sees that BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR is set in fs_info->fs_state, so it calls btrfs_cleanup_transaction().
There it sees the list fs_info->trans_list is empty, and then proceeds into calling btrfs_drop_all_logs(), which frees the log root tree with a call to btrfs_free_log_root_tree();
7) Task B calls write_all_supers() and, shortly after, under the label 'out_wake_log_root', it deferences the pointer stored in 'log_root_tree', which was already freed in the previous step by the transaction kthread. This results in a use-after-free leading to a crash.
Fix this by deleting the transaction from the list of transactions at cleanup_transaction() only after setting the transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING and waiting for all existing tasks that are attached to the transaction to release their transaction handles. This makes the transaction kthread wait for all the tasks attached to the transaction to be done with the transaction before dropping the log roots and doing other cleanups.
