[ Upstream commit 9d123a35d7e97bb2139747b16127c9b22b6a593e ]
If the caching thread fails to allocate a path, it returns without waking
up any cache waiters, leaving them hang forever. Fix this by following the
same approach as when we fail to start the caching thread: print an error
message, disable inode caching and make the wakers fallback to non-caching
mode behaviour (calling btrfs_find_free_objectid()).
Fixes: 581bb050941b4f ("Btrfs: Cache free inode numbers in memory")
