Regression test for btrfs' incremental send feature:
1) Create several nested directories;
2) Create a read only snapshot;
3) Change the parentship of some of the deepest directories in a reverse
way, so that parents become children and children become parents;
4) Create another read only snapshot and use it for an incremental send
relative to the first snapshot.
At step 4 btrfs' send entered an infinite loop, increasing the memory it
used while building path strings until a krealloc was unable to allocate
more memory, which caused a warning dump in dmesg.
The following linux kernel patch fixes this issue.
