Btrfs: fix panic when trying to destroy a newly allocated
There is a problem where iget5_locked will look for an inode, not find it, and then subsequently try to allocate it. Another CPU will have raced in and allocated the inode instead, so when iget5_locked gets the inode spin lock again and does a search, it finds the new inode. So it goes ahead and calls destroy_inode on the inode it just allocated. The problem is we don't set BTRFS_I(inode)->root until the new inode is completely initialized. This patch makes us set root to NULL when alloc'ing a new inode, so when we get to btrfs_destroy_inode and we see that root is NULL we can just free up the memory and continue on.
