If the replace target device reappears after the suspended replace is
cancelled, it blocks the mount operation as it can't find the matching
replace-item in the metadata. As shown below,
BTRFS error (device sda5): replace devid present without an active replace item
To overcome this situation, the user can run the command
btrfs device scan --forget <replace target device>
and try the mount command again. And also, to avoid repeating the issue,
superblock on the devid=0 must be wiped.
wipefs -a device-path-to-devid=0.
This patch adds some info when this situation occurs.
