    btrfs: fix assertion when building free space tree

    When building the free space tree with the block group tree feature
    enabled, we can hit an assertion failure like this:

    This happens because we are processing an empty block group, which has
    no extents allocated from it, there are no items for this block group,
    including the block group item since block group items are stored in a
    dedicated tree when using the block group tree feature. It also means
    this is the block group with the highest start offset, so there are no
    higher keys in the extent root, hence btrfs_search_slot_for_read()
    returns 1 (no higher key found).

    Fix this by asserting 'ret' is 0 only if the block group tree feature
    is not enabled, in which case we should find a block group item for
    the block group since it's stored in the extent root and block group
    item keys are greater than extent item keys (the value for
    BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_ITEM_KEY is 192 and for BTRFS_EXTENT_ITEM_KEY and
    BTRFS_METADATA_ITEM_KEY the values are 168 and 169 respectively).
    In case 'ret' is 1, we just need to add a record to the free space
    tree which spans the whole block group, and we can achieve this by
    making 'ret == 0' as the while loop's condition.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
