Empty block groups go through btrfs_add_to_discard_unused_list() which
skips that check. So metadata blocks will be discarded here from
btrfs_discard_queue_work() which should be called from
__btrfs_add_free_space().
We should just skip discarding metadata blocks while they are being
used.
Thanks,
Dennis
