In the upstream equivalent of btrfs_remove_block_group(), the
function remove_block_group_free_space() is called to delete free
spaces associated with the block group being freed. However, this
function is defined in btrfs-progs but not called anywhere.

To address this issue, I added a call to
remove_block_group_free_space() in btrfs_remove_block_group(). This
ensures that the free spaces are properly deleted when a block group
is removed.

The idea is correct, we should remove the free space of a block group
from v1 or v2 free space cache.

But remove_block_group_free_space() in btrfs-progs is not the same as
the kernel one, as it doesn't check if the fs has free space tree enabled.

Thus for a v1 space cached btrfs, this will lead to a NULL pointer
dereference.

Mind to add the free space tree checks before calling it inside
btrfs_remove_block_group()?

Another thing is, this is very hard to trigger since in btrfs-progs we
seldom do deletion to trigger empty block groups removal.

If you can find a way to test this corner case, it would be a great help.

Thanks,
Qu
