Subject: btrfs: call mnt_drop_write after interrupted subvol deletion
From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxx>
commit e43f998e47bae27e37e159915625e8d4b130153b upstream.
If btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy blocks on the mutex and the process is
killed, mnt_write count is unbalanced and leads to unmountable
filesystem.
