Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: relocation: set trans to be NULL after ending
transaction

The function relocate_block_group calls btrfs_end_transaction to release trans when update_backref_cache returns 1, and then continues the loop body. If btrfs_block_rsv_refill fails this time, it will jump out the loop and the freed trans will be accessed. This may result in a use-after-free bug. The patch assigns NULL to trans after trans is released so that it will not be accessed.
