btrfs: avoid starting new transaction when flushing delayed items and refs
When flushing space we join a transaction to flush delayed items and delayed references, in order to try to release space. However using btrfs_join_transaction() not only joins an existing transaction as well as it starts a new transaction if there is none open. If there is no transaction open, we don't have neither delayed items nor delayed references, so creating a new transaction is a waste of time, IO and creates an unnecessary rotation of the backup roots without gaining any benefits (including releasing space). So use btrfs_join_transaction_nostart() when attempting to flush delayed items and references. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
