btrfs: tree-checker: Fix false panic for sanity test
commit 69fc6cbbac542c349b3d350d10f6e394c253c81d upstream. [BUG] If we run btrfs with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS=y, it will instantly cause kernel panic like: ------ ... assertion failed: 0, file: fs/btrfs/disk-io.c, line: 3853 ... Call Trace: btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty+0x187/0x1f0 [btrfs] setup_items_for_insert+0x385/0x650 [btrfs] __btrfs_drop_extents+0x129a/0x1870 [btrfs] ... ----- [Cause] Btrfs will call btrfs_check_leaf() in btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() to check if the leaf is valid with CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS=y. However quite some btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() callers(*) don't really initialize its item data but only initialize its item pointers, leaving item data uninitialized. This makes tree-checker catch uninitialized data as error, causing such panic. *: These callers include but not limited to setup_items_for_insert() btrfs_split_item() btrfs_expand_item() [Fix] Add a new parameter @check_item_data to btrfs_check_leaf(). With @check_item_data set to false, item data check will be skipped and fallback to old btrfs_check_leaf() behavior. So we can still get early warning if we screw up item pointers, and avoid false panic.
