commit fd57a98d6f0c98fa295813087f13afb26c224e73 upstream.
When we have smack enabled, during the creation of a directory smack may
attempt to add a "smack transmute" xattr on the inode, which results in
the following warning and trace:

This happens because at btrfs_mkdir() we call d_instantiate_new() while
holding a transaction handle, which results in the following call chain:
btrfs_mkdir()
trans = btrfs_start_transaction(root, 5);
d_instantiate_new()
smack_d_instantiate()
__vfs_setxattr()
btrfs_setxattr_trans()
btrfs_start_transaction()
start_transaction()
WARN_ON()
--> a tansaction start has TRANS_EXTWRITERS
set in its type
h->orig_rsv = h->block_rsv
h->block_rsv = NULL
btrfs_end_transaction(trans)
Besides the warning triggered at start_transaction, we set the handle's
block_rsv to NULL which may cause some surprises later on.
So fix this by making btrfs_setxattr_trans() not start a transaction when
we already have a handle on one, stored in current->journal_info, and use
that handle. We are good to use the handle because at btrfs_mkdir() we did
reserve space for the xattr and the inode item.
