At __btrfs_cow_block(), instead of doing a BUG_ON() in case we fail to record a tree mod log root insertion operation, do a transaction abort instead. There's really no need for the BUG_ON(), we can properly release all resources in this context and turn the filesystem to RO mode and in an error state instead.
