prelim_ref_insert() will merge only those refs which compare
identically. However any refs having e.g. different offsets [1]
would not be merged.

I agree with Nikolay that it's a good idea to explain that the
WARN is not needed for ref->count < 0.  I'd prefer to include
a few lines of code comments since a single line deletion
is harder to track via the history.

[1] see this patch set:
    https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg69472.html

which added the ignore_offset behavior to the backref search and gives
a case for multiple extent refs at different offsets.
