Would this change the behaviour of findmnt? I have several scripts that
depend on findmnt to select btrfs filesystems. Just to take a couple of
examples (using the example shown above): my scripts would depend on
'findmnt --target /mnt/test/sub1 -o target' providing /mnt/test, not the
subvolume; and another script would depend on 'findmnt -t btrfs
--mountpoint /mnt/test/sub1' providing no output as the directory is not
an /etc/fstab mount point for a btrfs filesystem.

Maybe findmnt isn't affected? Or maybe the change is worth making
anyway? But it needs to be carefully considered if it breaks existing
user interfaces.
