Per comment, record_root_in_trans orders the writes of the root->state
and root->last_trans:
      set_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_IN_TRANS_SETUP, &root->state);
      smp_wmb();
      root->last_trans = trans->transid;

But the barrier that enforces the order on the read side is misplaced:
     smp_rmb(); <-- misplaced
     if (root->last_trans == trans->transid &&
    <-- missing barrier here -->
            !test_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_IN_TRANS_SETUP, &root->state))

This patches fixes the ordering and wraps the racy accesses with
READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE calls to avoid load/store tearing.

Aren't the smp_rmb barriers supposed to be used before the condition?
