At btrfs_put_delayed_ref(), it's pointless to have a WARN_ON() to check if
the refcount of the delayed ref is zero. Such check is already done by the
refcount_t module and refcount_dec_and_test(), which loudly complains if
we try to decrement a reference count that is currently 0.
The WARN_ON() dates back to the time when used a regular atomic_t type
for the reference counter, before we switched to the refcount_t type.
The main goal of the refcount_t type/module is precisely to catch such
types of bugs and loudly complain if they happen.
This also reduces a bit the module's text size.
Before this change:
$ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
text data bss dec hex filename

After this change:
$ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
text data bss dec hex filename
1612371 167073 16864 1796308 1b68d4 fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
