When we failed to find a root key in btrfs_update_root(), we just panic.

That's definitely not cool, fix it by aborting current transaction and
return an error value.

You leave the leaf dump here, which I believe was related to the BUG_ON
so there's information for later analysis. This is not usually done
where transaction is aborted and error returned. I'm not saying it's not
worth keeping it here, as the logic that would lead to this error is
in the 'never happens' category. But we know such things happen due to
the bitflips and random memory corruptions so a dump might make sense.

If you think this makes sense, please put it to the changelog and write
a comment before the leaf dump. This will be a good pattern to follow as
there are many instances of leaf_dump/BUG to clean up or review.

I think the dump makes sense, but didn't think so deep to make it as an
example for later cleanup.

If we're going to use this as an example for later cleanups.
I won't keep it.

The message itself should be enough to locate the cause, and the tree
dump doesn't help as much as we expected.

So I'm going to remove it in next update.

Thanks,
Qu
