CVE-2024-26644

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: don't abort filesystem when attempting to snapshot deleted subvolume

If the source file descriptor to the snapshot ioctl refers to a deleted subvolume, we get the following abort:

BTRFS: error (device vdc: state EA) in cleanuptransaction:2055: errno=-2 No such entry

This happens because creatependingsnapshot() initializes the new root item as a copy of the source root item. This includes the refs field, which is 0 for a deleted subvolume. The call to btrfsinsertroot() therefore inserts a root with refs == 0. btrfsgetnewfsroot() then finds the root and returns -ENOENT if refs == 0, which causes creatependingsnapshot() to abort.

Fix it by checking the source root's refs before attempting the snapshot, but after locking subvol_sem to avoid racing with deletion.
