btrfs send/receive symlink bug

Hi,

I am using kernel 3.7.0-rc5 and latest btrfs-progs git.

I am trying btrfs send/receive. When I have a filesystem containing a symlink pointing to a nonexistent destination or a destination created after the symlink was created, btrfs receive aborts with: ERROR: chown link1.txt failed. No such file or directory.

Steps to reproduce (/dev/loop0 and /dev/loop1 are test images):

mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0
mount /dev/loop0 /u00
btrfs subvolume create /u00/test
cd /u00/test
ln -s test1.txt link1.txt
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /u00/test /u00/test.snapshot mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop1
mount /dev/loop1 /u01
btrfs send /u00/test.snapshot | btrfs receive /u01
ERROR: chown link1.txt failed. No such file or directory

A patch [1] for btrfs-progs that solves this issue was posted a month ago but has landed yet on the btrfs-progs git repository.
