If we do a successful RWF_NOWAIT write we end up locking the snapshot lock
of the inode, through a call to check_can_nocow(), but we never unlock it.
This means the next attempt to create a snapshot on the subvolume will
hang forever.
Trivial reproducer:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ touch /mnt/foobar
$ chattr +C /mnt/foobar
$ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" /mnt/foobar
$ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -N -V 1 -S 0xfe 0 64K" /mnt/foobar
$ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap
--> hangs
Fix this by unlocking the snapshot lock if check_can_nocow() returned
success.

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.
