btrfs: fix re-dirty process of tree-log nodes
There is a report of a transaction abort of -EAGAIN with the following
script.
#!/bin/sh
for d in sda sdb; do
mkfs.btrfs -d single -m single -f /dev/\${d}
done
mount /dev/sda /mnt/test
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/scratch
for dir in test scratch; do
echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
for d in sda sdb; do
umount /dev/\${d}
done
The stack trace is shown in below.

[3310.968214] BTRFS: error (device sda) in cleanup_transaction:1946: errno-11 unknown
The abort occurs because of a write hole while writing out freeing tree
nodes of a tree-log tree. For zoned btrfs, we re-dirty a freed tree
node to ensure btrfs can write the region and does not leave a hole on
write on a zoned device. The current code fails to re-dirty a node
when the tree-log tree's depth is greater or equal to 2. That leads to
a transaction abort with -EAGAIN.
Fix the issue by properly re-dirtying a node on walking up the tree.
