Btrfs: do not start a transaction during fiemap

commit 03628cdbc64db6262e50d0357960a4e9562676a1 upstream.

During fiemap, for regular extents (non inline) we need to check if they
are shared and if they are, set the shared bit. Checking if an extent is
shared requires checking the delayed references of the currently running
transaction, since some reference might have not yet hit the extent tree
and be only in the in-memory delayed references.

However we were using a transaction join for this, which creates a new
transaction when there is no transaction currently running. That means
that two more potential failures can happen: creating the transaction and
committing it. Further, if no write activity is currently happening in the
system, and fiemap calls keep being done, we end up creating and
committing transactions that do nothing.

In some extreme cases this can result in the commit of the transaction
created by fiemap to fail with ENOSPC when updating the root item of a
subvolume tree because a join does not reserve any space, leading to a
trace like the following:

Since fiemap (and btrfs_check_shared()) is a read-only operation, do not do
a transaction join to avoid the overhead of creating a new transaction (if
there is currently no running transaction) and introducing a potential
point of failure when the new transaction gets committed, instead use a
transaction attach to grab a handle for the currently running transaction
if any.
