get_old_root used used only by btrfs_search_old_slot to initialise the path structure. The old root is always a cloned buffer (either via alloc dummy or via btrfs_clone_extent_buffer) and its reference count is 2: 1 from allocation, 1 from extent_buffer_get call in get_old_root. This latter explicit ref count acquire operation is in fact unnecessary since the semantic is such that the newly allocated buffer is handed over to the btrfs_path for lifetime management. Considering this just remove the extra extent_buffer_get in get_old_root.

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.
