Eric reported an issue where mounting -o recovery with a fuzzed fs
resulted in a kernel panic. This is because we tried to free the tree
node, except it was an error from the read. Fix this by properly
resetting the tree_root->node == NULL in this case. The panic was the
following
BTRFS warning (device loop0): failed to read tree root

Nik says: this is problematic only if we fail on the last iteration of
the loop as this results in init_tree_roots returning err value with
tree_root->node = -ERR. Subsequently the caller does: fail_tree_roots
which calls free_root_pointers on the bogus value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
