Btrfs: fix infinite path build loops in incremental send



The send operation processes inodes by their ascending number, and assumes
that any rename/move operation can be successfully performed (sent to the
caller) once all previous inodes (those with a smaller inode number than the
one we're currently processing) were processed.

This is not true when an incremental send had to process an hierarchical change
between 2 snapshots where the parent-children relationship between directory
inodes was reversed - that is, parents became children and children became
parents. This situation made the path building code go into an infinite loop,
which kept allocating more and more memory that eventually lead to a krealloc
warning being displayed in dmesg:

Even without this loop, the incremental send couldn't succeed, because it would attempt
to send a rename/move operation for the lower inode before the highest inode number was
renamed/move. This issue is easy to trigger with the following steps:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3
  $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs
  $ mkdir -p /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c/d
  $ mkdir /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2
  $ btrfs subvol snapshot -r /mnt/btrfs /mnt/btrfs/snap1
  $ mv /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c/d /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2/d2
  $ mv /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2/d2/cc
  $ btrfs subvol snapshot -r /mnt/btrfs /mnt/btrfs/snap2
  $ btrfs send -p /mnt/btrfs/snap1 /mnt/btrfs/snap2 > /tmp/incremental.send

The structure of the filesystem when the first snapshot is taken is:

	 .                       (ino 256)
	 |-- a                   (ino 257)
	     |-- b               (ino 258)
	         |-- c           (ino 259)
	         |   |-- d       (ino 260)
                 |
	         |-- c2          (ino 261)

And its structure when the second snapshot is taken is:

	 .                       (ino 256)
	 |-- a                   (ino 257)
	     |-- b               (ino 258)
	         |-- c2          (ino 261)
	             |-- d2      (ino 260)
	                 |-- cc  (ino 259)

Before the move/rename operation is performed for the inode 259, the
move/rename for inode 260 must be performed, since 259 is now a child
of 260.

A test case for xfstests, with a more complex scenario, will follow soon.
