btrfs: fix hang on snapshot creation after RWF_NOWAIT write



If we do a successful RWF_NOWAIT write we end up locking the snapshot lock
of the inode, through a call to check_can_nocow(), but we never unlock it.

This means the next attempt to create a snapshot on the subvolume will
hang forever.

Trivial reproducer:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ touch /mnt/foobar
  $ chattr +C /mnt/foobar
  $ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" /mnt/foobar
  $ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -N -V 1 -S 0xfe 0 64K" /mnt/foobar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap
    --> hangs

Fix this by unlocking the snapshot lock if check_can_nocow() returned
success.
