btrfs: fix race between logging inode and checking if it was logged before
There's a race between checking if an inode was logged before and logging an inode that can cause us to mark an inode as not logged just after it was logged by a concurrent task: 1) We have inode X which was not logged before neither in the current transaction not in past transaction since the inode was loaded into memory, so it's ->logged_trans value is 0; 2) We are at transaction N; 3) Task A calls inode_logged() against inode X, sees that ->logged_trans is 0 and there is a log tree and so it proceeds to search in the log tree for an inode item for inode X. It doesn't see any, but before it sets ->logged_trans to N - 1... 3) Task B calls btrfs_log_inode() against inode X, logs the inode and sets ->logged_trans to N; 4) Task A now sets ->logged_trans to N - 1; 5) At this point anyone calling inode_logged() gets 0 (inode not logged) since ->logged_trans is greater than 0 and less than N, but our inode was really logged. As a consequence operations like rename, unlink and link that happen afterwards in the current transaction end up not updating the log when they should. Fix this by ensuring inode_logged() only updates ->logged_trans in case the inode item is not found in the log tree if after tacking the inode's lock (spinlock struct btrfs_inode::lock) the ->logged_trans value is still zero, since the inode lock is what protects setting ->logged_trans at btrfs_log_inode().
