Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe on RAID stripe-extents

Don't use btrfs_set_item_key_safe() to modify the keys in the RAID
stripe-tree, as this can lead to corruption of the tree, which is caught
by the checks in btrfs_set_item_key_safe():
