We've seen the following backtrace stack in ftrace or dmesg log,

  kworker/u16:10-4244  [000] 241942.480955: function:             btrfs_put_ordered_extent
  kworker/u16:10-4244  [000] 241942.480956: kernel_stack:         <stack trace>
=> finish_ordered_fn (ffffffffa0384475)
=> btrfs_scrubparity_helper (ffffffffa03ca577)        <-----"incorrect"
=> btrfs_freespace_write_helper (ffffffffa03ca98e)    <-----"correct"
=> process_one_work (ffffffff81117b2f)
=> worker_thread (ffffffff81118c2a)
=> kthread (ffffffff81121de0)
=> ret_from_fork (ffffffff81d7087a)

btrfs_freespace_write_helper is actually calling normal_worker_helper
instead of btrfs_scrubparity_helper, so somehow kernel has parsed the
incorrect function address while unwinding the stack,
btrfs_scrubparity_helper really shouldn't be shown up.

It's caused by compiler doing inline for our helper function, adding a
noinline tag can fix that.
