Currently if there's any corruption at all in extent tree
(eg. even single bit) then mounting will fail with:
"failed to read block groups: -5" (-EIO)
It happens because we immediately abort on first error when
searching in extent tree for block groups.

Now with this patch if `ignorebadroots` option is specified
then we handle such case and continue by removing already
created block groups and creating dummy block groups.

When we hit bad things in extent tree, we should ensure we're mounting
the fs RO, or we can't continue.

And we should also refuse to mount back to RW if we hit such case, so
that we don't need anything complex, just ignore the whole extent tree
and create the dummy block groups.
That's what we're doing here, `ignorebadroots` implies RO mount and
without specifying it doesn't mount at all.

This isn't that nice, but I don't really know how to properly clean up
everything related to already created block groups so this was easiest
way. It seems to work fine.
But looks like need to do something about replay log aswell because if
it's not disabled then it fails with:

[ 1397.246869] BTRFS info (device sde): start tree-log replay

This is because we shouldn't allow to do anything write to the fs if we
have anything wrong in extent tree.
This is happening when mounting read-only. My assumption is that it
only tries to replay in memory without writing anything to disk.
We lacks the check on log tree.

Normally for such forced RO mount, log replay is not allowed.

We should output a warning to prompt user to use nologreplay, and reject
the mount.
I'm not familiar with log replay but couldn't there be something
useful (ignoring ref counts) that would still be worth replaying in
memory?
Log replay means metadata write.

Any write needs a valid extent tree to find out free space for new
metadata/data.

So no, we can't do anything but completely ignoring the log.
I see, updated patch. But even then it seems it could be possible to
add new ramdisk and make allocations there (eg. create new extent tree
there) thus allowing replay. I guess that's way too much work.
Anyway thanks for feedback!

Dāvis
