All other users of the bg_list list_head increment the refcount when adding to a list and decrement it when deleting from the list. Just for the sake of uniformity and to try to avoid refcounting bugs, do it for this list as well. This does not fix any known ref-counting bug, as the reference belongs to a single task (trans_handle is not shared and this represents trans_handle->new_bgs linkage) and will not lose its original refcount while that thread is running. And BLOCK_GROUP_FLAG_NEW protects against ref-counting errors "moving" the block group to the unused list without taking a ref. With that said, I still believe it is simpler to just hold the extra ref count for this list user as well.

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 reStructuredText 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.
