The intent here was to do a logical && instead of a bitwise &.  The
original condition tests whether they have the some of same bits set.
I have fixed that and rewritten it to be more clear.

The intent here is definitely bitwise &.  The original code tests
whether at least one of the bits set in (chunk_type & MASK) is set in
(bctl_flags & MASK), and if not returns 0.  IOW,

u64 mask = chunk_type & BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_TYPE_MASK;

if (((bctl->flags & BTRFS_BALANCE_TYPE_MASK) & mask) == 0)
	return 0;

Your patch does something completely different.  However, I think we can
strengthen that check (and make it more idiomatic).  Can you try the
below diff with your checker ?

Thanks,
