It seems overly harsh to fail a resize of a btrfs file system to the
same size when a shrink or grow would succeed.  User app GParted trips
over this error.  Allow it by bypassing the shrink or grow operation.

v2: Fix FS shrink prevention error spotted by Chris Samuel

Example failed resize:
    # strace -e trace=ioctl btrfs filesystem resize max /mnt/0
    Resize '/mnt/0' of 'max'
    ioctl(3, 0x50009403, 0xbfa5029c)        = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
    ERROR: unable to resize '/mnt/0' - Invalid argument
    # echo $?
    30
    # dmesg | tail -1
    [426094.235018] new size for /dev/loop1 is 1073741824
