When the 2 comparison treees roots are initialised they are private to the function and already have referencecounts of 1 each. There is no need to further increment the reference count since the cloned buffers are already accessed via struct btrfs_path. Eventually the 2 paths used for comparison are going to be released, effectively disposing of the cloned buffers.
