[CAUSE] That offending commit skips the whole qgroup inherit check if qgroup is not enabled. But that also skips the very basic checks like num_ref_copies/num_excl_copies and the structure size checks. Meaning if a qgroup enable/disable race is happening at the background, and we pass a btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure when the qgroup is disabled, the check would be completely skipped. Then at the time of transaction commitment, qgroup is re-enabled and btrfs_qgroup_inherit() is going to use the incorrect structure and causing the above KASAN error. [FIX] Make btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit() only skip the source qgroup checks. So that even if invalid btrfs_qgroup_inherit structure is passed in, we can still reject invalid ones no matter if qgroup is enabled or not. Furthermore we do already have an extra safety inside btrfs_qgroup_inherit(), which would just ignore invalid qgroup sources, so even if we only skip the qgroup source check we're still safe.
