Zygo Blaxell c8195a7b1a btrfs: remove spurious WARN_ON(ref->count < 0) in find_parent_nodes
Until v4.14, this warning was very infrequent:

	WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 18172 at fs/btrfs/backref.c:1391 find_parent_nodes+0xc41/0x14e0

Starting with v4.14 (specifically 86d5f9944252 ("btrfs: convert prelimary
reference tracking to use rbtrees")) the WARN_ON occurs three orders of
magnitude more frequently--almost once per second while running workloads
like bees.

Replace the WARN_ON() with a comment rationale for its removal.
The rationale is paraphrased from an explanation by Edmund Nadolski
<enadolski@suse.de> on the linux-btrfs mailing list.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
