Syzbot reports a problem that a warning is triggered due to suspicious
use of rcu_dereference_check(). That is triggered by a call of
bch2_snapshot_tree_oldest_subvol().

The cause of the warning is that inside
bch2_snapshot_tree_oldest_subvol(), snapshot_t() is called which calls
rcu_dereference() that requires a read lock to be held. Also, the call
of bch2_snapshot_tree_next() eventually calls snapshot_t().

To fix this, call rcu_read_lock() before calling snapshot_t(). Then,
release the lock after the termination of the while loop.
