If btrfs_insert_fs_root() fails, the tmp_root allocated by
btrfs_alloc_dummy_root() is leaked because its initial reference count
is not decremented.

Fix this by calling btrfs_put_root() unconditionally after
btrfs_insert_fs_root(). This ensures the local reference is always
dropped.

Also fix a copy-paste error in the error message where the subvolume
root insertion failure was incorrectly logged as "fs root".
