There are two link_free_space followed by WARN_ON instances in the
function, please remove both.

In the above case, the branches can be merged together so there's not
repeated kmem_cache_free, like

	if (info->bytes)
		ret = link_free_space(...);
	kmem_cache_free(btrfs_free_space_cachep, info);
	if (ret)
		goto out_unlock;
