4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 30928e9baac238a7330085a1c5747f0b5df444b4 upstream.
This could result in a really bad case where we do something like
evict
evict_refill_and_join
btrfs_commit_transaction
btrfs_run_delayed_iputs
evict
evict_refill_and_join
btrfs_commit_transaction
... forever
We have plenty of other places where we run delayed iputs that are much
safer, let those do the work.
