This commit (8cefc107ca54c8b06438b7dc9) causes hangs of 'btrfs send'
commands, that's eg. inside fstests or in btrfs-progs testsuite. The
'send' uses pipe/splice to get data from kernel to userspace.

The test that reliably worked for me leaves the process hanging with
this stacktrace (no CPU or IO activity):

I've bisected that to the mentioned commit, using test in btrfs-progs
testsuite with command "make TEST=016\* test-misc". Normally the test
can run up to 10 seconds, in the buggy case it stays there.

I can help testing fixes or gathering more information, please let me
know.
