Here is a test case which says it all..
mkfs.xfs -f $DEV
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
mount $DEV $MNT
mount: /dev/vdiskc: more filesystems detected. This should not happen,
use -t <type> to explicitly specify the filesystem type or
use wipefs(8) to clean up the device.
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
with this patch btrfs_prepare_device() also wipes old FS if any,
btrfs_prepare_device() is called after we have verified that
user has provided -f option.
