Subject: Btrfs: fix racy system chunk allocation when setting block group ro

From: Filipe Manana <[email protected]>

commit a96295965b600f2dc6ad661c4803c86e87db3d7b upstream.

If while setting a block group read-only we end up allocating a system chunk, through check_system_chunk(), we were not doing it while holding the chunk mutex which is a problem if a concurrent chunk allocation is happening, through do_chunk_alloc(), as it means both block groups can end up using the same logical addresses and physical regions in the device(s). So make sure we hold the chunk mutex.

Fixes 2f0810880f08 ("btrfs: delete chunk allocation attemp when

setting block group ro")
