Btrfs: fix transaction handle leak on failure to create hard link

commit 271dba4 upstream. If we failed to create a hard link we were not always releasing the the transaction handle we got before, resulting in a memory leak and preventing any other tasks from being able to commit the current transaction. Fix this by always releasing our transaction handle. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Liu Bo <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
