Subject: Btrfs: fix BUG_ON in btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty

From: Liu Bo <[email protected]>

commit ef85b25e982b5bba1530b936e283ef129f02ab9d upstream.

This can only happen with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY=y.

Commit 1ba98d0 ("Btrfs: detect corruption when non-root leaf has zero item") assumes that a leaf is its root when leaf->bytenr == btrfs_root_bytenr(root), however, we should not use btrfs_root_bytenr(root) since it's mainly got updated during committing transaction. So the check can fail when doing COW on this leaf while it is a root.

This changes to use "if (leaf == btrfs_root_node(root))" instead, just like how we check whether leaf is a root in __btrfs_cow_block().
