This was fixed a long time ago by the following patch by Josef:

"Btrfs: don't BUG() during drop snapshot"
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7002791/

..which never got merged. I've been using it since 4.1.x until today
without problems.

Note that apparently Patchwork got confused here: downloading only the
"patch" fragment won't work; you'll need the full "mbox" attachment.
It also seems to have been sorted into the wrong list bucket for some
reason.

The patch was buried in some thread, not even a subject gives a hint
there's a patch, but anyway thanks for pointing it out.

Josef's patch contained this fix but mixed with other (removing BUG_ON).
I've removed it so we can merge both patches, for sake of better change
separation.
