Updating the subject here, because it seems increasingly likely that quotas
are the problem causing OOM panics.

I was able to reproduce the problem on a test filesystem with quotas
enabled.  After quotas were disabled and the system was rebooted, the
problem no longer occurred.  The dangerous combination seems to be many
extents plus quotas.

Sadly, quotas are the only way to have btrfs keep track of how much space
subvols are using, so it's very useful to be able to use that feature.

I also noted this at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63071
