btrfs: don't prematurely free work in reada_start_machine_worker()



Currently, reada_start_machine_worker() frees the reada_machine_work and
then calls __reada_start_machine() to do readahead. This is another
potential instance of the bug in "btrfs: don't prematurely free work in
run_ordered_work()".

There _might_ already be a deadlock here: reada_start_machine_worker()
can depend on itself through stacked filesystems (__read_start_machine()
-> reada_start_machine_dev() -> reada_tree_block_flagged() ->
read_extent_buffer_pages() -> submit_one_bio() ->
btree_submit_bio_hook() -> btrfs_map_bio() -> submit_stripe_bio() ->
submit_bio() onto a loop device can trigger readahead on the lower
filesystem).

Either way, let's fix it by freeing the work at the end.
