This is because of unprotected use of rcu_dereference in
btrfs_scratch_superblocks. We can't add rcu locks around the whole
function because we read the superblock.

The fix will use the rcu string buffer directly without the rcu locking.
Thi is safe as the device will not go away in the meantime. We're
holding the device list mutexes.

Restructuring the code to narrow down the rcu section turned out to be
impossible, we need to call filp_open (through update_dev_time) on the
buffer and this could call kmalloc/__might_sleep. We could call kstrdup
with GFP_ATOMIC but it's not absolutely necessary.
