btrfs: remove spurious WARN_ON(ref->count < 0) in find_parent_nodes



commit c8195a7b upstream.

Until v4.14, this warning was very infrequent:

	WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 18172 at fs/btrfs/backref.c:1391 find_parent_nodes+0xc41/0x14e0

Starting with v4.14 (specifically 86d5f994 ("btrfs: convert prelimary
reference tracking to use rbtrees")) the WARN_ON occurs three orders of
magnitude more frequently--almost once per second while running workloads
like bees.

Replace the WARN_ON() with a comment rationale for its removal.
The rationale is paraphrased from an explanation by Edmund Nadolski
<enadolski@suse.de> on the linux-btrfs mailing list.
