This reverts commit7e06de7c83. Commit7e06de7c83("btrfs: canonicalize the device path before adding it") tries to make btrfs to use "/dev/mapper/*" name first, then any filename inside "/dev/" as the device path. This is mostly fine when there is only the root namespace involved, but when multiple namespace are involved, things can easily go wrong for the d_path() usage. As d_path() returns a file path that is namespace dependent, the resulted string may not make any sense in another namespace. Furthermore, the "/dev/" prefix checks itself is not reliable, one can still make a valid initramfs without devtmpfs, and fill all needed device nodes manually. Overall the userspace has all its might to pass whatever device path for mount, and we are not going to win the war trying to cover every corner case. So just revert that commit, and do no extra d_path() based file path sanity check.

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 reStructuredText 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.
