From: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6c122e2a0c515cfb3f3a9cefb5dad4cb62109c78 ] get_old_root used used only by btrfs_search_old_slot to initialise the path structure. The old root is always a cloned buffer (either via alloc dummy or via btrfs_clone_extent_buffer) and its reference count is 2: 1 from allocation, 1 from extent_buffer_get call in get_old_root. This latter explicit ref count acquire operation is in fact unnecessary since the semantic is such that the newly allocated buffer is handed over to the btrfs_path for lifetime management. Considering this just remove the extra extent_buffer_get in get_old_root.
