[BUG]
Lockdep will report the following circular locking dependency:

  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  5.2.0-rc2-custom #24 Tainted: G           O
  ------------------------------------------------------
  btrfs/8631 is trying to acquire lock:
  000000002536438c (&fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock#2){+.+.}, at: btrfs_qgroup_inherit+0x40/0x620 [btrfs]

  but task is already holding lock:
  000000003d52cc23 (&fs_info->tree_log_mutex){+.+.}, at: create_pending_snapshot+0x8b6/0xe60 [btrfs]

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

  other info that might help us debug this:

  Chain exists of:
    &fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock#2 --> &fs_info->reloc_mutex --> &fs_info->tree_log_mutex

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&fs_info->tree_log_mutex);
                                 lock(&fs_info->reloc_mutex);
                                 lock(&fs_info->tree_log_mutex);
    lock(&fs_info->qgroup_ioctl_lock#2);

[CAUSE]
Due to the delayed subvolume creation, we need to call
btrfs_qgroup_inherit() inside commit transaction code, with a lot of
other mutex hold.
This hell of lock chain can lead to above problem.

[FIX]
On the other hand, we don't really need to hold qgroup_ioctl_lock if
we're in the context of create_pending_snapshot().
As in that context, we're the only one being able to modify qgroup.

All other qgroup functions which needs qgroup_ioctl_lock are either
holding a transaction handle, or will start a new transaction:
  Functions will start a new transaction():
  * btrfs_quota_enable()
  * btrfs_quota_disable()
  Functions hold a transaction handler:
  * btrfs_add_qgroup_relation()
  * btrfs_del_qgroup_relation()
  * btrfs_create_qgroup()
  * btrfs_remove_qgroup()
  * btrfs_limit_qgroup()
  * btrfs_qgroup_inherit() call inside create_subvol()

So we have a higher level protection provided by transaction, thus we
don't need to always hold qgroup_ioctl_lock in btrfs_qgroup_inherit().

Only the btrfs_qgroup_inherit() call in create_subvol() needs to hold
qgroup_ioctl_lock, while the btrfs_qgroup_inherit() call in
create_pending_snapshot() is already protected by transaction.

So the fix is to detect the context by checking
trans->transaction->state.
If we're at TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING, then we're in commit transaction
context and no need to get the mutex.
