From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit 72c9925f87c8b74f36f8e75a4cd93d964538d3ca upstream. At btrfs_copy_root(), if the call to btrfs_inc_ref() fails we end up returning without unlocking and releasing our reference on the extent buffer named "cow" we previously allocated with btrfs_alloc_tree_block(). So fix that by unlocking the extent buffer and dropping our reference on it before returning.
