Now that the new support is implemented, allow the ioctl to accept the
flags and update the version in sysfs.

This seems like an appropriate place to bring up the discussion about
versioned streams. SO instead of adding a BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_STREAM_V2
flag, which implies that for the next version we have to add
BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_STREAM_V3 etc. Why not generalize the flag to
BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_STREAM_VERSIONED and carve an u32 from one of the
reserved fields so that in the future we simply increment the version field?

Yes, that definitely sounds better.
