Previous commit ("btrfs: reject devices with CHANGING_FSID_V2") has
stopped the assembly of devices with the CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag in the
kernel. Such devices can be scanned but will not be registered and can't
be mounted without a manual fix by btrfstune. Remove the related logic
and now unused code.
The original motivation was to allow an interrupted partial conversion
fix itself on next mount, in case the system has to be rebooted. This is
a convenience but brings a lot of complexity the device scanning and
handling the partial states. It's hard to estimate if this was ever
needed in practice, expecting the typical use case like a manual
conversion of an unmounted filesystem where the user can verify the
success and rerun it eventually.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
