btrfs_uuid_iter_rem is able to return -ENOENT, however this condition
is not handled in btrfs_uuid_tree_iterate which can lead to calling
btrfs_next_item with freed path argument, leading to a null pointer
dereference. Fix it by redoing the search but with an incremented
objectid so we don't loop over the same key.

Hello Chris, 

Since I keep getting those crashes I (hopefully correctly) implemented
your suggestion of redoing the search with an incremented key so we 
don't end up in a loop. Does that look correct?

I'll queue the patch for 4.9, thanks.

Not having a good test for this kept me from trying the patch cold.  I 
think bumping the objectid will end up missing items.

We know its returning -ENOENT, so it should in theory be enough to just 
goto again_search_slot, assuming that we just raced with the deletion.

Ok, so I can keep it in the branches that are not for the upcoming
merges but still in for-next.
