[ Upstream commit 1ef94169db0958d6de39f9ea6e063ce887342e2d ]
[TEST FAILURE WITH EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES] When running test case generic/508, the test case will fail with the new btrfs shutdown support:

Please note that the test case requires shutdown support, thus the test case will be skipped using the current upstream kernel, as it doesn't have shutdown ioctl support.
[CAUSE] The direct cause the 0 time stamp in the log tree:

But the old fs tree has all the correct time stamp:
btrfs-progs v6.12 fs tree key (FS_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) leaf 30425088 items 2 free space 16061 generation 5 owner FS_TREE leaf 30425088 flags 0x1(WRITTEN) backref revision 1 checksum stored 48f6c57e checksum calced 48f6c57e fs uuid 57d45451-481e-43e4-aa93-289ad707a3a0 chunk uuid d52bd3fd-5163-4337-98a7-7986993ad398 item 0 key (256 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 16123 itemsize 160 generation 3 transid 0 size 0 nbytes 16384 block group 0 mode 40755 links 1 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0 sequence 0 flags 0x0(none) atime 1751432947.0 (2025-07-02 14:39:07) ctime 1751432947.0 (2025-07-02 14:39:07) mtime 1751432947.0 (2025-07-02 14:39:07) otime 1751432947.0 (2025-07-02 14:39:07) <<<
The root cause is that fill_inode_item() in tree-log.c is only populating a/c/m time, not the otime (or btime in statx output).
Part of the reason is that, the vfs inode only has a/c/m time, no native btime support yet.
[FIX] Thankfully btrfs has its otime stored in btrfs_inode::i_otime_sec and btrfs_inode::i_otime_nsec.
So what we really need is just fill the otime time stamp in fill_inode_item() of tree-log.c
There is another fill_inode_item() in inode.c, which is doing the proper otime population.
