Block group creation is done in two phases, which results in a slightly
unintiuitive property: a block group can be allocated/deallocated from
after btrfs_make_block_group adds it to the space_info with
btrfs_add_bg_to_space_info, but before creation is completely completed
in btrfs_create_pending_block_groups. As a result, it is possible for a
block group to go unused and have 'btrfs_mark_bg_unused' called on it
concurrently with 'btrfs_create_pending_block_groups'. This causes a
number of issues, which were fixed with the block group flag
'BLOCK_GROUP_FLAG_NEW'.

However, this fix is not quite complete. Since it does not use the
unused_bg_lock, it is possible for the following race to occur:

btrfs_create_pending_block_groups            btrfs_mark_bg_unused
                                           if list_empty // false
        list_del_init
        clear_bit
                                           else if (test_bit) // true
                                                list_move_tail

And we get into the exact same broken ref count and invalid new_bgs
state for transaction cleanup that BLOCK_GROUP_FLAG_NEW was designed to
prevent.

The broken refcount aspect will result in a warning like:

Though we have seen them in the async discard workfn as well. It is
most likely to happen after a relocation finishes which cancels discard,
tears down the block group, etc.

Fix this fully by taking the lock around the list_del_init + clear_bit
so that the two are done atomically.

Please write function references with the (), this makes it clear when
there are other identifiers like struct names or variables.

Please remove the Code: line unless it's really needed for the fix.

I've fixed it for-next.
