I am not sure this error is caused by my improper fix, or bugs lie
somewhere else on mkfs.btrfs path.
But without this patch, I think, btrfs_wipe_existing_sb will not do
what is supposed to do -- wiping out existing superblocks.
Instead, it does nothing and always returns 1. Since it has no effect
and nobody complaints about it, that brings a question, do we really
need to call it in btrfs_prepare_device?
