Btrfs: Don't loop forever on metadata IO failures
When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find
a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block()
ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date.
The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat
the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed
reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never
going to become up to date.
