Which is this code in tree_mod_log_rewind()

	switch (tm->op) {
        case BTRFS_MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING:
		BUG_ON(tm->slot < n);

This occurs because we replay the nodes in order that they happened, and
when we do a REPLACE we will log a REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING for every slot,
starting at 0.  'n' here is the number of items in this block, which in
this case was 1, but we had 2 REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING operations.

The actual root cause of this was that we were replaying operations for
a block that shouldn't have been replayed.  Consider the following
sequence of events

1. We have an already modified root, and we do a btrfs_get_tree_mod_seq().
2. We begin removing items from this root, triggering KEY_REPLACE for
   it's child slots.
3. We remove one of the 2 children this root node points to, thus triggering
   the root node promotion of the remaining child, and freeing this node.
4. We modify a new root, and re-allocate the above node to the root node of
   this other root.

The tree mod log looks something like this

	logical 0	op KEY_REPLACE (slot 1)			seq 2
	logical 0	op KEY_REMOVE (slot 1)			seq 3
	logical 0	op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 0)	seq 4
	logical 4096	op LOG_ROOT_REPLACE (old logical 0)	seq 5
	logical 8192	op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 1)	seq 6
	logical 8192	op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 0)	seq 7
	logical 0	op LOG_ROOT_REPLACE (old logical 8192)	seq 8

>From here the bug is triggered by the following steps

1.  Call btrfs_get_old_root() on the new_root.
2.  We call tree_mod_log_oldest_root(btrfs_root_node(new_root)), which is
    currently logical 0.
3.  tree_mod_log_oldest_root() calls tree_mod_log_search_oldest(), which
    gives us the KEY_REPLACE seq 2, and since that's not a
    LOG_ROOT_REPLACE we incorrectly believe that we don't have an old
    root, because we expect that the most recent change should be a
    LOG_ROOT_REPLACE.
4.  Back in tree_mod_log_oldest_root() we don't have a LOG_ROOT_REPLACE,
    so we don't set old_root, we simply use our e
