Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix block group leak when removing fails

btrfs_remove_block_group() invokes btrfs_lookup_block_group(), which returns a local reference of the block group that contains the given bytenr to "block_group" with increased refcount.

When btrfs_remove_block_group() returns, "block_group" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in several exception handling paths of btrfs_remove_block_group(). When those error scenarios occur such as btrfs_alloc_path() returns NULL, the function forgets to decrease its refcnt increased by btrfs_lookup_block_group() and will cause a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "out_put_group" label and calling btrfs_put_block_group() when those error scenarios occur.
