If we failed during a rename exchange operation after starting/joining a
transaction, we would end up replacing the return value, stored in the
local 'ret' variable, with the return value from btrfs_end_transaction().
So this could end up returning 0 (success) to user space despite the
operation having failed and aborted the transaction, because if there are
multiple tasks having a reference on the transaction at the time
btrfs_end_transaction() is called by the rename exchange, that function
returns 0 (otherwise it returns -EIO and not the original error value).
So fix this by not overwriting the return value on error after getting
a transaction handle.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
