btrfs: avoid checking for RO block group twice during nocow writeback

Browse source

During the nocow writeback path, we currently iterate the rbtree of block
groups twice: once for checking if the target block group is RO with the
call to btrfs_extent_readonly()), and once again for getting a nocow
reference on the block group with a call to btrfs_inc_nocow_writers().

Since btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() already returns false when the target
block group is RO, remove the call to btrfs_extent_readonly(). Not only
we avoid searching the blocks group rbtree twice, it also helps reduce
contention on the lock that protects it (specially since it is a spin
lock and not a read-write lock). That may make a noticeable difference
on very large filesystems, with thousands of allocated block groups.
