btrfs: Handle final split-brain possibility during fsid change

This patch lands the last case which needs to be handled by the fsid
change code. Namely, this is the case where a multidisk filesystem has
already undergone at least one successful fsid change i.e all disks
have the METADATA_UUID incompat bit and power failure occurs as another
fsid change is in progress. When such an event occurs, disks could be
split in 2 groups. One of the groups will have both METADATA_UUID and
CHANGING_FSID_V2 flags set coupled with old fsid/metadata_uuid pairs.
The other group of disks will have only METADATA_UUID bit set and their
fsid will be different than the one in disks in the first group. Here
we look at the following cases:

  a) A disk from the first group is scanned first, so fs_devices is
  created with stale fsid/metdata_uuid. Then when a disk from the
  second group is scanned it needs to first check whether there exists
  such an fs_devices that has fsid_change set to true (because it was
  created with a disk having the CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag), the
  metadata_uuid and fsid of the fs_devices will be different (since it was
  created by a disk which already has had at least 1 successful fsid change)
  and finally the metadata_uuid of the fs_devices will equal that of the
  currently scanned disk (because metadata_uuid never really changes).
  When the correct fs_devices is found the information from the scanned
  disk will replace the current one in fs_devices since the scanned disk
  will have higher generation number.

  b) A disk from the second group is scanned so fs_devices is created
  as usual with differing fsid/metdata_uid. Then when a disk from the
  first group is scanned the code detects that it has both
  CHANGING_FSID_V2 and METADATA_UUID flags set and will search for
  fs_devices that has differing metadata_uuid/fsid and whose
  metadata_uuid is the same as that of the scanned device.
