Six locks have a percpu mode, which we use for interior btree nodes, as well as btree key cache keys for the subvolumes btree. We've been switching locks back and forth between percpu and non percpu mode as needed, but it turns out this is racy - when we're reusing an existing node, other threads could be attempting to lock it while we're switching it between modes. This patch fixes this by never switching 'struct btree' between the two modes, and instead segragating them between two different freed lists.

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.
