I haven't done any kernel coding so I'm curious, but is this a safe change? When I code, I always have the authoritative code do a check, e.g. in web programing, the browser can do data validation but you always have the web server check incoming data also, so it doesn't hurt to have it in the kernel itself.
The other thing is that it is possible for people and distributions to upgrade the kernel without upgrading the btrfs tools, so there could be a window when there is no check on somebody's system.
