The loop construct in free_extent_buffer was added in
242e18c7c1 ("Btrfs: reduce lock contention on extent buffer locks")
as means of reducing the times the eb lock is taken, the non-last ref
count is decremented and lock is released. As the special handling
of UNMAPPED extent buffers was removed now there is only one decrement
op which is happening for EXTENT_BUFFER_UNMAPPED case.
This commit modifies the loop condition so that in case of UNMAPPED
buffers the eb's lock is taken only if we are 100% sure the eb is going
to be freed by the current executor of the code. Additionally, remove
superfluous ref count ops in btrfs test.

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.
