btrfs_check_shared() is leaking a return value of '1' from
find_parent_nodes(). As a result, callers (in this case, extent_fiemap())
are told extents are shared when they are not. This in turn broke fiemap on
btrfs for kernels v3.18 and up.

The fix is simple - we just have to clear 'ret' after we are done processing
the results of find_parent_nodes().

It wasn't clear to me at first what was happening with return values in
btrfs_check_shared() and find_parent_nodes() - thanks to Josef for the help
on irc. I added documentation to both functions to make things more clear
for the next hacker who might come across them.

Thanks Mark, any reason not to tag this for stable?

If you all are ok with the patch then yes please send it to -stable too. It
breaks duperemove on kernels from 3.18 onward:

https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove/issues/55

so I'm understandbly interested in seeing it backported :)

Thanks,
