[PATCH 3/3] btrfs: free alien device due to device add

[Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com>]

When the old device has new fsid through btrfs device add -f <dev> our
fs_devices list has an alien device in one of the fs_devices. So this is
a trigger and not the root cause of the issue. This patch fixes the trigger.

By having an alien device in fs_devices, we have two issues so far

1. missing device is not shows as missing in the userland

Which is due to cracks in the function btrfs_open_one_device() and
hardened by the pending patches in the ml.
 btrfs: remove identified alien device in open_fs_devices
 btrfs: remove identified alien btrfs device in open_fs_devices

2. mount of a degraded fs_devices fails

Which is due to cracks in the function btrfs_free_extra_devids() and
hardened by patch (included in the set).
 btrfs: include non-missing as a qualifier for the latest_bdev

Now the trigger for both of this issue is that there is an alien (does not
contain the intended fsid/btrfs_magic) device in the fs_devices.

We know a device can be scanned/added through
btrfs-control::BTRFS_IOC_SCAN_DEV|BTRFS_IOC_DEVICES_READY
or by
ioctl::BTRFS_IOC_ADD_DEV

And device coming through btrfs-control is checked against the all other
devices in btrfs kernel but not coming through BTRFS_IOC_ADD_DEV.

This patch checks if the device add is alienating any other scanned
device and deletes it.

In fact, this patch fixes both the issues 1 and 2 (above) by eliminating
the trigger of the issue, but still they have their own patch as well
because its the right way to harden the functions and fill the cracks.
