However I'm having hard time reconciling this. The block group is
removed from the block_group_cache_tree after we've called
btrfs_del_item. So if btrfs_del_item or btrfs_search_slot fail the code
jumps at out_put_group and puts the reference acquired at the beginning
of the function via btrfs_lookup_block_group.

I think what you meant is if we fail to delete the block group's item
from the freespace tree, that is if we fail
remove_block_group_free_space, then we'd have a ref leak. With this
modification to the changelog:

I agree with this.
