From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit 52db77791fe24538c8aa2a183248399715f6b380 upstream. At __inode_add_ref(), we treating any error returned from btrfs_lookup_dir_item() or from btrfs_lookup_dir_index_item() as meaning that there is no existing directory entry in the fs/subvolume tree. This is not correct since we can get errors such as, for example, -EIO when reading extent buffers while searching the fs/subvolume's btree. So fix that and return the error to the caller when it is not -ENOENT.
