In commit 0cc068e6ee59 "btrfs: don't report readahead errors and don't
update statistics" we stopped counting errors if they occur during
readahead.  If there's a mirror available, we do still correct errors
in that case.  Errors in readahead are fairly common, e.g. there are
usually a few during lvm pvmove operations, so it maybe makes sense
not to count them; however, if the errors are not counted, they should
also not be repaired.  Instead, they should be repaired only during
non-readahead reads (i.e. when the repairs will be counted in dev stats).
Repairing errors without counting is bad because it hides an important
indicator of device failure.

This thread might be a different issue since there aren't any mirrors
with single data, but if you're look at dev stats correctness anyway...
