In btrfs_ref_tree_mod(), when !parent 're' was allocated
through kmalloc(). In the following code, if an error occurs,
the execution will be redirected to 'out' or 'out_unlock' and
the function will be exited. However, on some of the paths,
're' are not deallocated and may lead to memory leaks.
For example : lookup_block_entry() for 'be' returns null, the
out label will be invoked. During that flow ref and ra was
freed but not re, which can potentially lead to memleak
