At ioctl.c:create_subvol(), when we fail to create a subvolume we always commit the transaction. In most cases this is a no-op, since all the error paths, except for one, abort the transaction - the only exception is when we fail to insert the new root item into the root tree, in that case we don't abort the transaction because we didn't do anything that is irreversible - however we end up committing the transaction which although is not a functional problem, it adds unnecessary rotation of the backup roots in the superblock and unnecessary work. So change that to commit a transaction only when no error happened, otherwise just call btrfs_end_transaction() to release our reference on the transaction.

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.
