Before applying the patch commit de3cb945db4d8eb3b046dc7a5ea89a893372750c title: Btrfs: improve the delayed inode throttling We need requeue the async work after the current work was done, it introduced a deadlock problem. So we wrote the code that this patch removes to avoid the above problem. But after applying the above patch, the deadlock problem didn't exist. So we should remove that fix code.
