It is possible to confuse the btrfs device cache (fs_devices) by
starting with a multi-device filesystem, then removing and re-adding a
device in a way which changes its dev_t while the filesystem is
unmounted. After this procedure, if we remount, then we are in a funny
state where struct btrfs_device's "devt" field does not match the bd_dev
of the "bdev" field. I would say this is bad enough, as we have violated
a pretty clear invariant.
But for style points, we can then remove the extra device from the fs,
making it a single device fs, which enables the "temp_fsid" feature,
which permits multiple separate mounts of different devices with the
same fsid. Since btrfs is confused and *thinks* there are different
devices (based on device->devt), it allows a second redundant mount of
the same device (not a bind mount!). This then allows us to corrupt the
original mount by doing stuff to the one that should be a bind mount.
