Subject: btrfs: allocate btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args on stack

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx>

commit c853a5783ebe123847886d432354931874367292 upstream.

Instead of using kmalloc() to allocate btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args,
allocate btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args on stack, the size is reasonably
small and ioctls are called in process context.

sizeof(btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args) = 48

[ This patch is needed to fix a memory leak of "range" that was
introduced when commit 173431b274a9 ("btrfs: defrag: reject unknown
flags of btrfs_ioctl_defrag_range_args") was backported to kernels
lacking this patch. Now with these two patches applied in reverse order,
range->flags needed to change back to range.flags.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.]
