Christoph Hellwig f880fe6e0b btrfs: don't hold an extra reference for redirtied buffers
When btrfs_redirty_list_add redirties a buffer, it also acquires
an extra reference that is released on transaction commit.  But
this is not required as buffers that are dirty or under writeback
are never freed (look for calls to extent_buffer_under_io())).

Remove the extra reference and the infrastructure used to drop it
again.

History behind redirty logic:

In the first place, it used releasing_list to hold all the
to-be-released extent buffers, and decided which buffers to re-dirty at
the commit time. Then, in a later version, the behaviour got changed to
re-dirty a necessary buffer and add re-dirtied one to the list in
btrfs_free_tree_block(). In short, the list was there mostly for the
patch series' historical reason.

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.
