Subject: Btrfs: use down_read_nested to make lockdep silent
From: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e321f8a801d7b4c40da8005257b05b9c2b51b072 ]
If @block_group is not @used_bg, it'll try to get @used_bg's lock without
droping @block_group 's lock and lockdep has throwed a scary deadlock warning
about it.
Fix it by using down_read_nested.
