When free'ing extents in a block group we check to see if the block
group is not cached, and then cache it if we need to.  However we'll
just carry on as long as we're loading the cache.  This is problematic
because we are dirtying the block group here.  If we are fast enough we
could do a transaction commit and clear the free space cache while we're
still loading the space cache in another thread.  This truncates the
free space inode, which will keep it from loading the space cache.

Fix this by using the btrfs_block_group_cache_done helper so that we try
to load the space cache unconditionally here, which will result in the
caller waiting for the fast caching to complete and keep us from
truncating the free space inode.

This would imply a race condition between loading the space cache and
running delayed refs - because there where
__btrfs_free_extent->btrfs_update_blockgroup(alloc=0) is called from, no ?

So the problem was that cache->cached == BTRFS_CACHE_NO misses other
interim states e.g. CACHE_STARTED/CACHE_FAST. Which leads to the
aforementioned race, correct?
