After the roots are closed, root is freed. Yet close_ctree continues to use it. It works generally because no new memory is allocated in the interim, but with glibc malloc perturbing enabled, it crashes every time. This is because root->fs_info points to garbage. This patch uses the already-cached fs_info variable for the rest of the accesses and fixes the crash.
