[PATCH] Revert "Btrfs: race free update of commit root for ro snapshots"
This reverts commit 9c3b306e1c9e6be4be09e99a8fe2227d1005effc.
Switching only one commit root during a transaction is wrong because it leads
the fs into an inconsistent state. All commit roots should be switched at once,
at transaction commit time, otherwise backref walking can often miss important
references that were only accessible through the old commit root.
Plus, the root item for the snapshot's root wasn't getting updated and
preventing
the next transaction commit to do it.
This made several users get into random corruption issues after creation of
readonly snapshots.
A regression test for xfstests will follow soon.
