4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>

commit 552f0329c75b3e1d7f9bb8c9e421d37403f192cd upstream.

We have a race between enabling quotas end subvolume creation that cause
subvolume creation to fail with -EINVAL, and the following diagram shows
how it happens:

CPU 0 CPU 1

btrfs_ioctl()
btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl()
btrfs_quota_enable()
mutex_lock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)

btrfs_ioctl()
create_subvol()
btrfs_qgroup_inherit()
-> save fs_info->quota_root
into quota_root
-> stores a NULL value
-> tries to lock the mutex
qgroup_ioctl_lock
-> blocks waiting for
the task at CPU0

-> sets BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED in fs_info
-> sets quota_root in fs_info->quota_root
(non-NULL value)

mutex_unlock(fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock)

-> checks quota enabled
flag is set
-> returns -EINVAL because
fs_info->quota_root was
NULL before it acquired
the mutex
qgroup_ioctl_lock
-> ioctl returns -EINVAL

Returning -EINVAL to user space will be confusing if all the arguments
passed to the subvolume creation ioctl were valid.

Fix it by grabbing the value from fs_info->quota_root after acquiring
the mutex.
