Seems correct to me.
I would change the subject to something more clear like: "btrfs: fix
block group leak after failure to remove it"

One more suggestion below.

Instead of this double goto, which tends to be error prone and harder to follow,
I suggest placing a call to btrfs_put_block_group() right after the
'out' label, with a comment
above it saying something like "once for the lookup reference" and
removing one of the btrfs_put_block_group()
calls right after calling remove_block_group_free_space(), and leaving
a comment above the other one saying "once for the block groups
rbtree".

Thanks.
