Qu Wenruo edc728814f btrfs: trigger orphan inode cleanup during START_SYNC ioctl
There is an internal error report that scrub found an error in an orphan
inode's data.

However there are very limited ways to cleanup such orphan inodes:

- btrfs_start_pre_rw_mount()
  This happens at either mount, or RO->RW switch.
  This is not a viable solution for root fs which may not be unmounted
  or RO mounted.

  Furthermore this doesn't cover every subvolume, it only covers the
  currently cached subvolumes.

- btrfs_lookup_dentry()
  This happens when we first lookup the subvolume dentry.
  But dentry can be cached thus it's not ensured to be triggered every
  time.

- create_snapshot()
  This only happens for the created snapshot, not the source one.

This means if we didn't trigger orphan items cleanup, there is really no
other way to manually trigger it. Add this step to the START_SYNC ioctl.
This is a slight change in the semantics of the ioctl but as sync can be
potentially slow and is usually paired with WAIT_SYNC ioctl.

The errors are not handled because the main point of the ioctl is the
async commit, orphan cleanup is a side effect.

README

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.
