[ Upstream commit a8892fd71933126ebae3d60aec5918d4dceaae76 ] Our btrfs subvolume snapshot <source> <destination> utility enforces that <source> is the root of the subvolume, however this isn't enforced in the kernel. Update the kernel to also enforce this limitation to avoid problems with other users of this ioctl that don't have the appropriate checks in place.

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.
